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

[box]

Get-VM | Select-Object -Property Name,@{Name='ToolsVersion';Expression={$_.Guest.ToolsVersion}}

[/box]

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.
