![]() ![]() This can be useful for any type of interactive sessions such as working with a Windows network filesystem. If true, this property (introduced in vSphere 5.0) means that you can now interact with the desktop using vSphere's GuestOperations. $vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest -Filter interactiveGuestOperationsReady ![]() Here is a PowerCLI snippetusing the Get-VM cmdlet to retrieve the state for a VM named "air": VirtualMachine->Guest->guestOperationsReady Using the vSphere API, you can find the VM guestOperationsReady under: If true, this property (introduced in vSphere 5.0) means that you can use any of the vSphere GuestOperations managers like aliasManager, authManager, fileManager, guestWindowsRegistryManager and processManager to manipulate filesystem and/or running processes within the OS that does NOT require desktop interaction like an interactive GUI application for example. $vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest -Filter guestOperationsReady Here is a PowerCLI snippet using the Get-VM cmdlet to retrieve the power state for a VM named "air": Using the vSphere API, you can find the VM guestState under: We can also take advantage of this property when we do not see a "running" state which can then be used to debug further by taking a VM console screenshot using the vSphere API to determine where an OS boot may have failed. The GuestOS has booted up for the most part (it does not necessary mean all applications are already) and that it also has started the VMware Tools service which is how we are retrieving this information in the first place. In general, this state is usually sufficient in indicating that remote connectivity to the VM like RDP or SSH is now available and you can perform other guest related actions using other remote tooling. This particular state tells us a couple of things.
