Problem
If you want to either audit, or simply get a quick list of which of your VMs are running which versions of VMware Tools, here are a few options.
Show VMware Tools Versions With PowerCLI
Use the following Syntax
Get-VM | Select-Object -Property Name,@{Name='ToolsVersion';Expression={$_.Guest.ToolsVersion}}Like so;
Show VMware Tools Versions With VI Client
Using HTML Client To Show VMware Tools Information
Select either a host or the virtual center > VMs > More Info arrow > Show/Hide Columns > VMware Tools Options.
Using FLEX Client To Show VMware Tools Information
Select either a host or the virtual center > VMs > Columns Icon > VMware Tools Options.
Use RVTools To Audi VMware Tools Versions
I use RVTools a lot, especially for auditing new clients infrastructures, it has a section dedicated to VMware Tools.
