Hi,
i have ESXi 4.1 with 348481 patch level when i try to upgrade the VMWare tool on windows system i am getting below error.
error: Error upgrading VMware tools."
when i chck the logs it shows "[2013-01-24 12:05:01.016 7EB62B90 info 'Vmsvc' opID=781dabcc-74] Failed to do tools upgrade: Error: (21009) The
VMware Tools installation failed with an unknown error"
ESXi were upgraded and due to disk full we were not able to munt the Vmware tool 4.1 so i had copied the Vmwaretool foler from working ESXi host and paste it on local shared storage and from there i created soft link.
we are able to mount the VMware tool on windows box but through script it doesnt work.
here is the script.
$VCServer = "localhost"
)
#Initialize the VIToolkit:
#add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
#Connect to vCenter Server
Connect-VIServer $VCServer
Foreach ($strComputer in get-content ./computers.txt)
{
Update-Tools -NoReboot -VM $strComputer -Server $VCServer
#Dismount-Tools -VM $strComputer -Server $VCServer
}
Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
can anyone suggest whst could be the issue.
thnx in advance.
