“The other day I was told to check and see if VMware Tools was
installed on every Virtual Machine in our Cluster. I figured this
was the perfect time for me to write another script to do this. The
list of things that I want to have in the script: List all Virtual
Machines and the VMstatus and Version if installed, Check for
toolsOK, Check for toolsNotInstalled, Check for toolsNotRunning,
Check for toolsOld, and last but not least: to do this either on a
per Virtual Machine or on the entire Cluster.”
