Thanks. Makes sense. I had planned on doing it anyway. Just wanted to hear a legitimate reason. Memory issues qualifies. :

I do all the patches, not al a carte so those will be done and I will certainly be leveraging SMS to upgrade the tools.

Hey, does anyone know if you can run updated tools on a guest with an older build on the host.

I manage the VM's on my raised floor and help with another datacenter in a remote location. The remote hosts are not patched up to date however I would like to upgrade the tools via SMS on the guests up there as well.

I have to agree, we need an ESX 3.0.2 release with all these patches, this is getting ridiculous. At this point in the year I have applied 3 times as many ESX patches as we have Windows 2003 patches (any I only do a subset of the ESX patches, not all of them). I don't see why an ESX 3.0.2 couldn't have been out by now and save whatever else they are working on for a 3.0.3 release.
