Tools 10.2.1 or 10.2.5?

[Pertti]

Latest Tools (as 7^th May 2018) is 10.2.1 (Build 8267844) that released with vSphere 6.5 Update 2

It has driver versions wddm 8.15.1.60, vmxnet3 1.7.3.7, vnetWFP.sys 10.2.0.0

But version 10.2.5 (Build 8068406) has newer driver versions wddm 8.15.1.65, vmxnet3 1.7.3.8, vnetWFP.sys 10.2.5.0

Which is recommended?

[daphnissov]

The latest VMtools is recommended because it has an important fix for VMXNET3 and RSS enablement in Windows that was previous disabled.

[Pertti]

Yes I know that usually latest (10.2.1) is recommended. But now version 10.2.5 (which is not 'latest' in https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/index.html ) has bigger version number and also has bigger (newer?) version number in that vmxnet3 driver.

[daphnissov · Accepted solution]

Latest there maps to in-band releases with ESXi. 10.2.5 hasn't yet been included in an ESXi release, but it's still the latest release of VMware Tools.

Do we have a way to export all the VMs Drivers installed versions from power cli.
