VMware Tools status

[jpoling]

Is there a way to use PowerCLI to determine the state of VMware tools on a guest? i.e., are the tools running?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

you can retrieve the tools status with the following PowerCLI oneliner:

Get-VM | Get-View | Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}
