PowerCli Script to upgrade or Install VMtools

Hi All,

Is there any PowerCli Script to install VMtools on hundreds of server.

My requirement is

Have list of hundreds of server names to upgrade VMtools and supress reboot..

So that I can reboot them during change window.

When I did VMtools upgrade manually for few servers I encountered issues like

VM getting out of network , nic card was disappeared.i had to manually add IP details to them.

Soma of them went out of domain also.

If we use powercli Script to upgrade VMtools...will I face similar issues like nic details disappearance..VM put of domain.

I'm afraid that is not correct.
The station where you run the script should have PowerCLI installed, the targetted VMs do not need to have PowerCLI installed.
