Yes, this should also work for customized images ***IF*** you are doing an UPDATE and not INSTALL. Update will keep the customized drivers.

Jason,
Sure is...you can use esxcli in an ssh session - esxcli system maintenanceMode....or you can use powercli - Set-VMHost -VMHost Host -State "Maintenance"

Is there no way to put the host in maintenance mode from the command line?
