Note the following:
The steps for each guest operating system assume that you are working from a
remote console connected to your virtual machine.
Prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools. Choose Settings >
VMware Tools Install.
This option prepares the CD-ROM drive in the virtual machine to use an ISO
image file containing the VMware Tools packages. This image, which appears as
a regular CD-ROM disk in the virtual machine, was placed on your server
machine when you installed VMware ESX Server.
Installing VMware Tools and the Network Driver in a Windows 2000 Guest
1. Choose Settings > VMware Tools Install.
This step connects the virtual machine’s CD-ROM drive to an ISO image file on
the ESX Server machine. If autorun is enabled in your guest operating system
(the default setting for Windows operating systems), a dialog box appears after a
few seconds. It asks if you want to install VMware Tools. Click Install to launch the
installation wizard.
If autorun is not enabled, the dialog box does not appear automatically. If it
doesn’t appear, run VMwareTools.exe from the CD-ROM drive (Start > Run
> D:\VMwareTools.exe, where D: is the first CD-ROM drive in your virtual
machine) to install VMware Tools.
2. Do one of the following:
If you configured this virtual machine to use the vlance network driver, go
to step 6.
Don’t Forget
VMware Tools
It is very important
that you install
VMware Tools in the
guest operating
system. If you do not
install VMware Tools,
the graphics
environment within
the virtual machine is
limited to VGA mode
graphics (640x480, 16
color).
With the VMware Tools
SVGA driver installed,
virtual machines
support up to 32-bit
displays and high
display resolution, with
significantly faster
overall graphics
performance.
Other tools in the
package support time
synchronization
between server and
guest, automatic grab
and release of the
mouse cursor, copying
and pasting between
guest and the
management
workstation, and
improved networking
performance.
