Update-Tools in powercli 5?

[JonathanG]

hi

In powercli 4 there was a command "Update-Tools" to upgrade vmtools on VMs

what is the equivalent in powercli for vSphere 5?

thank you

I believe Update-Tools works just the same for v5 as it did for v4.  I have not seen any difference.

Don't forget about the wonderful -NoReboot !!

I don't think anything has changed either.  Below is an example of what we use.

Get-Content "c:\VMs.txt" | Foreach-Object {Get-VM -Name $_ | Update-Tools -NoReboot -RunAsync }
