Use PowerCLI for this, command are as follows :
Connect-VIServer 'YourVCenter'
Get-VM -Name 'NameOfVM' | Update-Tools -NoReboot
You can pass the "REBOOT=ReallySuppress" option to the Windows installer package which will prevent reboots. I'm using the following command to automatically update Tools with custom options:
[VMware Tools installer setup].exe /v /qb-! REINSTALLMODE=vomus ADDLOCAL=All REMOVE=Audio,BootCamp,FileIntrospection,Hgfs,NetworkIntrospection,Unity REBOOT=ReallySuppress
