Is there a way to generate a report of all VMs out of date on a DataCenter?

[ARamsey]

I am great in Windows but limited in Linux--just an fyi. Looking for an easy way to ID out of date VMs without having to look at the summary page for each individual VM.

I am guessing you mean the VM Tools inside the VM, those are ouf of date? Just click on the top level hosts/clusters. Click on the VM's, the list will come up. right click the column headers, and add the tools status.

Then sort by the tools status column. This doesn't even require Linux this is purely windows.

[ARamsey]

That was way too quick and way too easy. Thank you so much and have a great day!

RVTools is a small .NET 2.0 application which uses the VI SDK to display the version of the installed VMware tools. It also shows if the tools are upgradeable. The button "Upgrade VMware Tools" starts an UpgradeTools_Task for every selected VM. If you think this is useful information please download the application, try it and let me know by mail what you think about it.

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points for "Correct" or "Helpful". Thanks!!!
