Reg: VMware Tools install using Ansible

[harshc...@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I have a requirement in which I have to install VMware tools on VMs i created on VSphere, as by default its not present when i am creating a VM.

Is it possible using ansible or using any other script to install it on the freshly created VM.

Thanks in advance

There are ways to instruct through the api and there maybe a task for it but I am wondering why you couldn't bake it in to the template?

Why not using open-vm-tools ?

Hello, 

Thanks for your reply.. Actually the vms are already created and are not having vmware tools pre installed.

So I have to install tools on all those servers like 100 of them..
