vCenter 5.5 Modify VMware Tools for push to VM's
We use vShield End Point and Trend Micro Deep Security 9 for vm protection
Can you modify vmware tools to include VMCI Driver and sub contents? (Also takes a reboot)
Then push to selected VM's instead of the manual way. Have about 300 vm's

This command needed to install all vmware tools in the advanced window was "/s /v /qn ADDLOCAL=All "
Customizing the VMware Tools installation on Windows
The answer is in the vSphere docs. Actually it's only a matter of using the right command line parameters for msiexec.exe resp. setup.exe, namely ADDLOCAL and REMOVE. Examples:
I like to do a fresh install of the VMware Tools 5.5 by using the following command line:
setup[64].exe /s /v /qn ADDLOCAL=All REMOVE=Hgfs,WYSE,Audio,BootCamp,Unity,VShield,TrayIcon
(This is one line)
And for updating an older installation I use the following command line:
setup[64].exe /s /v /qn REINSTALLMODE=vomus ADDLOCAL=All REMOVE=Hgfs,WYSE,Audio,BootCamp,Unity,VShield,TrayIcon
(This is also one line)
