Fixed: VMware Tools status shows as not running after running VMware Consolidated Backup

Caution: Articles written for technical not grammatical accuracy, If poor grammar offends you proceed with caution ;-)

A while back I mentioned that VMware Tools would appear to change to a not running status after a VCB Snapshot was taken. Vmware said a fix would be forthcoming in ESX U4. VMegalodon posted on the communities this morning that he is running VC 2.5U3 and ESX 3.5 U4 (Which is probably a bad combination…) and the VMware Tools issue appears to be corrected.

So, what are you waiting for?? Get to upgrading!

Thanks VMegalodon!
