Opis

Automatic upgrades of VMware Tools can be managed via vSphere, ensuring VMware Tools versions remain current. This functionality is advisable unless alternative management and update mechanisms are in place. It is recommended to have automatic updates enabled to minimize administrative overhead and maintain up-to- date features and security patches. Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.
