- PowerCLI Invoke-VMScript cmdtlet throws permission error with VMware Tools 10.3.10 and 11.0.x versions.

Known Issues
Vmware Horizon Client 5.3 Mac Download Free
- After upgrading to a new version VMware Tools with installer parameter to remove the NetworkIntrospection feature, old version of vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still runs.
After the upgrade, the NetworkIntrospection feature is not present in the system's VMware Tools MSI database, but the feature's vnetflt or vnetWFP driver service still exists.
Workaround:
Refer to KB 78016.
Note: Future tools upgrade from version 11.1.0 to a newer tools version will not have the issue.
- VMware Tools upgrade fails on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 without SHA-2 code signing support.
Microsoft has changed Windows driver signing to use SHA-2 algorithm exclusively starting December 3, 2019. Hence, legacy Windows systems without SHA-2 code signing support fails driver signature verification.
Workaround:
Refer to KB 78708.
- VMware Tools 11.1.0 fails to install on a VM with VMware Horizon Agent 7.7 or earlier installed.
VMware Tools installation setup fails with a popup message: 'Setup failed to install the SVGA driver automatically. This driver will have to be installed manually.'
Workaround:
To workaround this issue:
- Choose Custom Setup.
- Unselect the SVGA Driver
- Install VMware Tools.
Setup will complete successfully and retain the existing installed SVGA Driver. To reinstall the SVGA driver on a failed VMware Tools install, refer to KB1016770.
- AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer.
AppDefense driver glxgi logs an error in the event viewer similar to the following:
'The glxgi service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.'
The events are observed when Guest Integrity is disabled.
Workaround:
These events do not impact the system and are safe to ignore.
- Event Viewer driver warnings generated by VMware Tools boot start drivers glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock.
When you have a secure boot VM with Microsoft Hyper-V and virtualization-based security enabled with Device Guard and Code Integrity policy set to enforced, then drivers, glxgi, pvscsi, vsepflt, and vsock might generate the event log warnings similar to the following.
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrityOperational Log:
Warnings
Event ID: 3083
Level: WarningDescription:
Code Integrity determined kernel module system32DRIVERSvsock.sys that did not meet the WHQL requirements is loaded into the system.
Check with the publisher to see if a WHQL compliant kernel module is available.Workaround:
These warnings are safe to ignore. The drivers load and operate in the normal manner.
- Installing or upgrading versions earlier than VMware Tools 10.3.0 to VMware Tools 11.1.0 might take longer and Windows OS might need a restart.
Installation process might appear to be in progress and displays a message similar to the following:
'Preparing 'VMware Tools' for installation...'During this process, the user might be prompted to restart the operating system.
Workaround:
For more information, see KB 55798.
- Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu.
Drag functionality fails to work in Ubuntu 16.04.4 32-bit virtual machine installed using easy install. Also, failure of copy and paste functionality is observed in the same system.
Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.
Workaround:
- Add the modprobe.blacklist=vmwgfx linux kernel boot option.
- To gain access to larger resolutions, remove svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = 'TRUE' option from the VMX file.
- Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM.
If the Shared Folders feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, shared folders mount is not available on restart.
Note: This issue is applicable for VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.
Workaround:
If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the Shared Folders feature from the interface.
For resolving the issue permanently, edit /etc/fstab and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot.
For example, add the line:
vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0
