How check/change in windows 2008 R2 vmware tools

Hey guys,.

I go through the documentation about our backup software, and it says to check and ensure THAT VSS is installed/activated in the installation of vmware tools, but when I go to add/remove programs and to seek to 'Edit' the installation I don't have this option. My only option is to uninstall vmware tools.

Is VSS automatically installed/activated now in vmware tools? We run vsphere 4.0.

Thank you

Kevin

I could be wrong, but I think that the driver VSS is enabled by default.  To verify, right-click on the VMguestInstall/Upgrade tools. When mount tools, you have an option to change, look under the drivers section

  • How to see the latest version of Vmware Tools in CentOS guestOS?

    After the installation of the new v5.0.0. VmWare Player on Win7 hostOS I improved as VmWare Tools in CentOS guestOS.

    After that (and restart) I wanted to check/verify the current installed version of VmWare Tools and entered (as usual in previous versions):

    VMware-toolbox - version

    Unfortunately, the Terminal was told: "unknown command".

    Who is wrong?

    If not, how can I check the currently installed version of VmWare Tools?

    I have the Windows files on my desktop Mac that are associated with a Windows application that is no longer installed in Windows.

    When I right click on the file and click Open with, I see the OLD Windows app that had.

  • How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

    Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

    I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

    So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

    Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

    Best regards

    Inside my computer, there is a menu option that allows you to install tools:-> VM install VMware Tools.

    When you have selected which, your guests will have an attached CD image and then you can install the tools from the.  Machine virtual Windows will be AutoPlay for the CD and for the most part, it's automatic.  Machines virtual Linux must be installed manually.  I think that there is a rpm and a. tar.gz on the image of linux tools.  For a linux VM, you will certainly have the kernel sources for the kernel running in the virtual machine very convenient and probably thus xorg-devel packages.

  • How to change the Windows settings to allow for the camera driver must be installed

    My laptop doesn't recognize my digital camera. The correct software is responsible for the camera. An error message indicates that Windows will not allow access to the driver. How can I change the settings in Windows so that the driver for the camera is recognized?

    Help please!

    Hi Brian,.

    1. are you able to install all device drivers?
    2. which antivirus program is installed on your computer?
    3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    The question seems to be as a program is blocked.
    I suggest you perform the clean boot and check if the problem persists. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.
