Use this free tool to verify the version of the VMware Tools

New version of RVTools is available.

Rob de Veij put a new version of his very popular free software – RVTools. This nice little tool gathers the informations from your Virtual Machine’s VMware tools. You just connect to your ESX host and there is a nice little window which appear righ after. If VMware tools are old and need to upgrade you can see it in one single window. There are quite a few tabs. Each one of them for different function. There is a tab for CD, Floppy, Network, Hard Disk (it shows you the capacity and the % of the free space available – very usefull feature.) On the VM’s TAB there is for exemple column to see how many processors are allocated to virtual machine. With RVTools you now also can disconnect the cd-rom and floppy drives from the virtual machines

You can get RVTools 2.0 here. The latest version of the application has new tab pages with virtual machine information about cpu, memory, disks, nics, cd-rom and floppy drives.
