The same logic should apply for other software management platforms like Casper, Absolute Manage or Puppet, using their respective mechanisms for customizable discoverable attributes. In this post I’ll walk through the few steps I did to have all my test machines configured to automatically keep their VMware tools up to date. Luckily, I use Munki to manage OS X clients, and it’s great at updating software. I’d like to not have to manually click “Update VMware tools.” and go install the tools manually every time I notice the tools are out of date between snapshots (which on my system seems to be frequently). Sometimes when this happens, things like pasteboard synchronization, automatic window resolution resizing and drag-and-drop file transfers stop working. Over time, the VMware guest OS tools tend to drift out of date with the version of Fusion, and are reported to need updates/reinstalling. I use VMware Fusion to test client software, deployment workflows, and using virtual machines allows me to frequently take and roll back snapshots.
