Querying the VMware Tools State Before Starting the Virtual Machine Reports an Unrecognized Property Error (9427668)

Details

The Programming API incorrectly returns an error when the client queries the VMware Tools state of a virtual machine that is not running. If the client opens a virtual machine in the stopped state (powered off or suspended) and requests the value of the VIX_PROPERTY_VM_TOOLS_STATE property before powering on the virtual machine, the query returns the error VIX_E_UNRECOGNIZED_PROPERTY.

Solution

Start the virtual machine. The API will recognize the property and return its value.
