![]() Once the remediation is done the tools should show as compliant. If there are no issue with the pre-check click remediate. ![]() Next we will remediate the baseline to apply the latest tools. Next run a compliance check on the ESXi host. Select the VMware tools baseline and attach. Go to the cluster > Updates > attach and select attached baseline. The baseline can be applied either directly to the ESXi host or to the cluster we will be applying to the cluster as it saves time having to apply to each host individually. We can now apply the baseline and run the check again and it should show as out of date. We can check the current tools status by going to the esxi host > Updates > VMware tools and check status. Untick show only rollup updates and filter for VMware tools, there will probable be a different VMware tools for 6.x and 7.x so check before adding to the baseline.Ĭlick next and complete the baseline creation. Untick Automatically update this baseline ![]() Give the baseline a name and select patch Next we will create a baseline to apply the latest tools. (If the tools required a reboot it would show under impact) We could also check under updates and turn off show only rollup updates. The quickest way I find to check the latest tools that have been synced is by click on image depot and select components. In Lifecycle manager the tools should be synced as previously in VMware Update Manager the tools need to be manually uploaded. I decided to do a post on how to update the version of VMware tools using VMware Lifecycle manager baseline as it’s a little bit different than VMware Update Manager.įirst we need to go to Lifecycle Manager, open the vSphere web console > Menu > Lifecycle Manager We needed to update the version of VMware tools running manually as the tools are not currently included in any other of our standard baselines we apply to our hosts. The vunerablity has been fixed in VMware tools version 11.3 There was recent VMware local privilege escalation vulnerability in VMware tools below 11.2.6 and below.
