Update 1: I did find out a open-vm-tools is present on the vCenter server appliance, but apparently not running.

I found this when I mounted the Tools CD and went in with Shell to see if I could install those tools.

As I found this:

Important: If you use an open-vm-tools, the VMware Tools status is Guest Managed on the virtual machine Summary tab. The status Guest Managed means that you cannot use the vCenter Server to manage VMware Tools and you cannot use vSphere Update Manager to upgrade VMware Tools.

I could technically remove the open-vm-tools via

Linux

Log in as root and enter vmware-uninstall-tools.pl in a terminal window.

And re-install it with mounting the vmware-tools CD via vCenter.

But I don't know if I should, opinions?
