Hello Yuvaraj,
One of the easiest ways, right click on the VM, choose guest and click on "Install/Upgrade VMware tools".

Simply right click the VM, select 'Guest' -> Install/Upgrade VMTools.
If you log onto the VM during the process, you will see a CD gets mounted - it should autorun and install, but you could force the install manually, by opening the CD and executing the Setup.exe file.
Good luck
Hi,
Using powercli you can update the vmtools very easily...
Update-Tools -NoReboot -VM VMName -Server vCenterName
Hi Mouhamad ,bulletprooff and scottm123 thank you.
Hi Mouhamad,
In my vmware enviroment I am not able to install & upgrade the VMware tool on one of my virtual machine. To install/upgrade VMware tool when i right click on the virtual machine and when I go to guest opiton the Install/Upgrade VMware tool option is greyed. Because of that I am not able to install/upgrade the VMware tool on that virtual machine.
But I am able to install & upgrade the VMware tool on other Virtual machines.
So please let me know how can I resolve this issue.
Thank in advance.
