I did a search on the forums on this and most of the information I got was a little dated.
So I have a few VMs with incorrect labels. Example: Windows 2008 R2 is labeled Windows 7(according to Edit Settings - Options - Version). If you look at the summary tab on the VM though the guest is labeled correctly with Win 2008 R2. VMware Tools also gives me an OK that it is installed. I always thought when the vmtools iso mounts it selects the tools version based off the Guest OS Label. So Im assuming Windows 7 VMtools is installed on this Windows 2008 R2 guest. But Im not really seeing any issues. Im running Alan Renouf's script right now to see if more are mislabeled but Im wondering how much of an issue this is since I havent seen any VMtool install failures, driver issues, or any problems at all. I would be a little more concerned if my Win 2008 R2 guest had a Windows XP label...but I havent run the script yet so who knows.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Joe
