When using Powercli to do some reporting on the VMtools versions I see something curious (for me)
Two machines on the SAME host have different readings for
New-VIProperty -Name ToolsVersion -ObjectType VirtualMachine -ValueFromExtensionProperty "Config.tools.ToolsVersion" -Force
New-VIProperty -Name ToolsVersionStatus -ObjectType VirtualMachine -ValueFromExtensionProperty "Guest.ToolsVersionStatus" -Force
get-vmhost -name vmXXXX.loods.local | get-vm | Select Name, Version, ToolsVersion, ToolsVersionStatus | ft
Lync2013 DIR2 v9 9221 guestToolsCurrent
Lync2013 DIR1 v9 8300 guestToolsCurrent
When I look in the about screen on the server itself both report 9.0.5 build 1065307. So according to the version in the about screen the versions are the same.
Please tell me , whats going on?
Best regards,
Gert
