I have some Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server R2 VMs running on ESXi 5.5. Some of our servers have slightly different hardware configurations (Some have Xeon E5-2660 CPUs and some have Xeon X5670 CPUs) so sometimes when VMs are provisioned they come up with new hardware detected and need to reboot. Is there a way to detect that there's been new hardware detected and then automatically trigger a reboot only in this case? As the hardware does not otherwise change, it should only trigger once, thus, hopefully, avoiding any reboot loop.
