My upgrade is finish, I'm happy

[VMvareUpgrade]

Hello,

Just let you know that my upgrade is just finished. I upgraded my entire farm with five clusters, 30 ESX Hosts and 100 VM. From ESX 3.01 to ESX3.5U4.

This upgrade taked me about one week. The only thing that I need to do is to install VMware Virtual Tools in the Virtual Machines. Right now, I have 3 approachs:

1-Get in each virtual Machines and Install the VMtools,

2-Install by a GPO from the Domain to the VM,

3-Install from the VCM with the vmware.exe and set the parametres.

I'm waiting for your feedback about these approachs.

Thanks

I would go with the GPO route. After creating the GPO you should do a couple of VM reboots and ensure the tools updated.

I prefer to use powershell or RVTools. RVTools also gives a nice overview of the current version and status and has a nice gui.

I closed the other topic you opened by the way cause it contained the same question.
