Configure Virtual Machines to Automatically Upgrade VMware Tools

You can configure virtual machines to automatically update VMware Tools.
  • Verify that the virtual machines have a version of VMware Tools shipped with ESX/ESXi 3.5 or later installed.
  • Verify that the virtual machines are hosted on ESX/ESXi 3.5 or later and vCenter Server 3.5 or later.
  • Verify that the virtual machines are running a Linux or Windows guest OS that ESX/ESXi 3.5 or later and vCenter Server 3.5 or later support.
Automatic VMware Tools upgrade is not supported for virtual machines with Solaris or NetWare guest operating systems.
  1. Right-click the virtual machine and click
    Edit Settings
    .
  2. Click the
    VM Options
     tab and select
    VMware Tools
    .
  3. Select
    Check and upgrade VMware Tools before each power on
    .
  4. Click
    OK
     to save your changes and close the dialog box.
