An administrator has Windows virtual machines (VMs) and VMware Tools is installed in each VM. The administrator performs a status check of VMware Tools using vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
What is the VMware Tools status for the Windows VMs if the version of VMware Tools has a known problem and must be immediately upgraded?
When the version of VMware Tools has a known problem and must be immediately upgraded, the status shown by vSphere Lifecycle Manager is 'Version Unsupported'. 'Version Unsupported' indicates that VMware Tools is installed, but there is an issue with the current version that necessitates an immediate upgrade to address known problems.
Ans: A VMware Tools Status Description Up to Date VMware Tools is installed, supported, and the version is compliant. VMware Tools is installed, supported, and the version is newer than the version available on the ESXi host. Upgrade Available VMware Tools is installed, but the version is old. VMware Tools is installed and supported, but a newer version is available on the ESXi host. Version Unsupported VMware Tools is installed, but the version is old. VMware Tools is installed, but the version has a known issue and must be immediately upgraded. VMware Tools is installed, but the version is too new to work correctly with this virtual machine. Not Installed VMware Tools is not installed on this virtual machine. Guest Managed vSphere does not manage VMware Tools. Unknown The status of the virtual machine is not checked.

VMware Tools is installed, but the version has a known issue and must be immediately upgraded. See highlighted text: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-196AACC7-F5D1-43B8-9DCE-DD529C017A8C.html#:~:text=VMware%20Tools%20is%20installed%2C%20but%20the%20version%20has%20a%20known%20issue%20and%20must%20be%20immediately%20upgraded.
If VMware Tools has a known problem, the tools status will be Version Unsupported https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere-lifecycle-manager.doc/GUID-12649CBB-F69A-4199-8957-B4C0170B4E9A.html
Version Unsupported: VMware Tools is installed, but the version is old. VMware Tools is installed, but the version has a known issue and must be immediately upgraded. VMware Tools is installed, but the version is too new to work correctly with this virtual machine.
Answer is correct.
I answered A on the test, passed with 428.
D is wrong answer. Please, check this link: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-196AACC7-F5D1-43B8-9DCE-DD529C017A8C.html

Version Unsupported appears for the following; VMware Tools is installed, but the version is old. VMware Tools is installed, but the version has a known issue and must be immediately upgraded. VMware Tools is installed, but the version is too new to work correctly with this virtual machine.
"...VMware Tools has a known problem and must be immediately upgraded" So, answer is A This is the right reference link for vSphere 8: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-196AACC7-F5D1-43B8-9DCE-DD529C017A8C.html
