How to check if the vmware tools are up to date and whether they run or not?

So, how can I do this in powercli?

Using (notice-EEG - viobject $vm). Config.Tools, I can get some info but not if they are running or not and they are up to date.

I would like to get sometnih like I see in vSphere client (OK - if the tools are up-to-date and running,...)

Best regards, Primoz

Is that what you are looking for?

Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="Tools status"; E={$_. Guest.Extensiondata.ToolsVersionStatus}}

Note that this property returns one of the VirtualMachineToolsVersionStatusenum values.

In the vSphere client, these values are translated to 'OK', 'Does not work', 'Obsolète' and 'not installed '.

If you see this text you can do the following

Get-VM | select Name,
    @{N="Tools Status";E={
        if($_.Guest.Extensiondata.GuestState -eq "notRunning"){
            "Not running"        }
        else{
            $_.Guest.Extensiondata.ToolsVersionStatus.Replace("guestToolsNeedUpgrade","Out of date").Replace("guestToolsNotInstalled","Not installed").Replace("guestToolsCurrent","OK").Replace("guestToolsUnmanaged","Unmanaged")
        }
    }}

  • How to launch and use the VMware tools

    After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

    Purpose:

    Laboratory at home training and certification.

    Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

    SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

    Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

    Software environment:

    64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

    VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

    VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

    VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

    I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

    VMware Tools:

    Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

    I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

    In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

    "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

    ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

    Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

    Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

    I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

    http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

    So next step that we did was
    1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
    2 restarted the VM
    3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
    4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
    5 Rebooted
    6. install the VMware tools
    7 Rebooted

    The issue is not reproducible after the same


    NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

    No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

    I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239.

  • What ever the data that we are loading in HFM, how to check if the data are correct or not?

    Hello!

    This is SANDEEP, I loaded data using FDM in HFM. How to check if the data is correct or not, what ever the data I was responsible in HFM.

    Please tell me how to recover the data and what format, clearly can you me the data verification process step by step.

    It would be useful for me...

    Thanks in advance...

    Kind regards

    SANDEEP

    Hi Sandeep,

    I think the best way is to extract data from HFM for the same POV that you have loaded FDM and check if it is the same.

    If you then use HFM 11.1.2.x version

    1. login to the application and go to the menu Administration / extract / data.

    2. set the POV that you have loaded the data, then unzip it. You can open the file unzipped in a notebook

    3. you can compare the file with the data file generated by FDMEE under Outbox folder.

    But what would you give all the data corresponding to the POV that you set. So please ensure that you have the correct POV, defined according to the export FDMEE.

    Thank you

  • The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  • When you are looking for WeatherFox, I discovered that my bottom bar everything was gone. I can't figure out how to restore. The Add-ons are still installed.

    I just noticed this morning that the lower tool, including weatherfox, Hebrew calendar and several other modules, has completely disappeared. Maybe it's a matter of having inadvertently clicked on something one day when do not not paying attention. When I checked under Firefox preferences earlier, I went to < manage add-ons > and saw installed at all the modules have been installed yet. I can't find a way to restore the tool bar display lower.

    Having a back-up, I opened the time Machine to see if a previous Firefox homepage included the bottom bar. I don't know if I did not go far enough or if Firefox is somehow the opening to a new default value, involuntary without the lower bar, any distance back I go.

    During this time, writing this, I went back to Firefox preferences, and now the General Preferences dialog box is completely ruined, as if the size of the content of this dialog box had grown up, in two dimensions, so it is no longer within the area and parts of it are not available. It is truncated, in other words, as well on the side right and on the bottom. I can isn't even access the section modules. The last visible thing at the bottom of that box is the upper part of the line of text that is displayed as follows: 'Pick your add-ons Preferences.' It's as if someone came with an Exacto and sheared to the lower part of this line of text. And then there is in the lower left corner. Along the right side of the box, under the "Home Page", there are three buttons: use current Pages >, < use a bookmark > and < restore Dfau >, which is the point where the text ends.

    What the hell is happening? Now, it's not only a question of restoring the lower bar on my page of Firefox, with display modules, but apparently I need to figure out how to resize the preferences General dialog box, as well. I just checked: other preferences dialog boxes appear to be rising correctly.

    I use a Mac PowerBook G4 with Firefox version 3.6.13.

    Uncheck all filters / OK.

    The error that you received can be caused by the following:

    (1) source incompatible or damaged files (photos,
    video clips, audio clips).

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    (2) the project is too big or too complex for your system
    resources. Made video is time CPU and
    can sometimes cause blackouts.
