Nico_K, can you confirm that newer versions of KACE virtual appliances will handle installing and updating of the Open-vm-tools? We need an official communication from Quest KACE on this as I'm sure you can appreciate. It's unfortunate VMware have decided to drop FreeBSD support, but they have, so we look to Quest KACE our vendor to adapt for its customers to changes in the industry, (its why the web client has HTML5 version now which hopefully by 2020 will be the main version with all features, didn't just point to Adobe and do nothing), otherwise customers may adapt themselves, away from Quest KACE KBOX, there's already pressure here to switch to SCCM. Enterprises want to use Enterprise hypervisors, and VMware is popular in this field, they also chose KACE KBOX and. I appreciate this is VMware's doing of dropping support, but KACE really shouldn't publish an article pointing fingers at VMware and appearing to bury their heads in the sand as 'nothing to do with them'. The bad news is in 10.2.0 VMware have dropped support for FreeBSD completely, requiring the use of open-vm-tools instead as stated in the release notes here: zip or a tar.gz you then upload the freebsd.iso file to a datastore and mount that to the KBOX virtual CD Drive to upgrade the tools.
So there are VMware Tools 10.1.10 and 10.1.15 you can download from and you'll want the VMware Tools packages for FreeBSD, Solaris and OS X download available as either a.
