VMware tools vShield driver install

[SandyB]

Hi guys

just finished rolling out vSphere 5 across the board as part of that we have installed vShield Endpoint and Trend Deep Security 8. looking to find a way of automating the VMware tools upgrade to include the  VMCI driver - vShield Drivers, any ideas?

we can leverage vSphere Update manager for it. Tools upgrade baseline can be used for upgrading VMware tools.

Run a customized setup.exe

i realise i can use VUM to push out the VMware tools update but what i need it a way to customise the tools to include the vShield Driver and push that out to all VMs.

that looks perfect, the VMCI drivers include Shared folders and vShield Drivers any way to include only the vShield drivers?

setup.exe /S /v "/qn REBOOT=R ADDLOCAL=VMCI REMOVE=Hgfs"

see here: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vmtools.install.doc/GUID-CD6ED7DD-E2E2...

or from vclient use "automatic tools upgrade" and enter this in the box:

/v "/qn ADDLOCAL=VMCI,VShield REMOVE=Hgfs"
