For a recent vSphere upgrade, I needed to find all virtual machines that had the VMware Tools Sync driver installed. All this required was a few Excel exports and the Microsoft devcon utility. I simply built batch files around the exported server lists with the following syntax:

devcon -m:\\<SERVERNAME> find * | find "Sync Driver"


With the lists created, it is now just a matter of following the instructions in either kb 1009073 to disable the Sync driver or kb 1009886 to remove the Sync driver and replace it with the VSS driver as part of the VMware Tools upgrade.

Thanks for reading!
