It most likely generates a task in which you can probably search the system and trigger of off that, but nothing in real time at least default from the vSphere API. </P><P></P><P></P><P></P><P></P><P>=========================================================================</P><P>William Lam</P><P>VMware vExpert 2009</P><P>VMware ESX/ESXi scripts and resources at: <A href="http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/"></A></P><P><A href="http://twitter.com/lamw">Twitter: @lamw</A></P><P><A href="https://communities.vmware.com/d-9852"></A></P><P><A href="https://communities.vmware.com/d-10878"></A></P><P><A href="https://communities.vmware.com/d-10837"></A></P><P><A href="https://communities.vmware.com/c-3164">VMware Code Central - Scripts/Sample code for Developers and Administrators</A></P><P><A href="https://communities.vmware.com/c-2828">VMware Developer Community</A></P><P></P><P><IMG src="http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/vexpert_silver_icon.jpg" /></P><P></P><P>If you find this information useful, please award points for "correct" or "helpful".</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:41:19 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Management-SDK/trigger-alarm-when-VMWare-Tools-installed/m-p/290592#M1479 lamw 2010-04-23T16:41:19Z Re: trigger alarm when VMWare Tools installed?? https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Management-SDK/trigger-alarm-when-VMWare-Tools-installed/m-p/290593#M1480 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks, lamw.
