Ever since upgrading to esxi 6.0 U2 (from 5.5) we've had a problem with vmtools on our windows vms (2008R2 and 2012R2). The vmtools show as current but "not running". If I RDP or open a vsphere console to one of these vm's, the vmtools will start and show as running. However, after logging off of the vm, the vmtools will stop again (sometimes right away; other times it takes a while). I opened an SR with VMware support and they suggested upgrading tools from 10.0.6 to 10.0.9 in which I have done. The issue is still occurring on some virtual machines. I've checked power options within windows on the vm's to see if there was something making the vm sleep, but I don't see anything like that. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We don't have this problem with any of our Linux vms.
