That's okay, got it anyway. Both points are very relevant to me and I've passed on the information about the packet loss to the rest of my group, as I didn't know about this until you posted here.
If I check a Windows 2012 VM that is current with its Tools on a 5.5 host, it's at the latest unaffected version. We are just adding 6.0 hosts and I suspect that if I were to upgrade any VMs on those hosts, they would be at an affected version, so I've let everyone know to hold off until there is a patch. Thanks again for the information. -----Original Message----- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 5:41 PM To: ntsysadm <ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Anyone see this VMware announcement and deal with it? Dang it... I forgot to put in the point of the post: Win2012 and Win2012R2 machines with current-ish VMware tools and RSS enabled can experience some packet loss. Current recommendation until VMware fixes the VMWare Tools is to older version. Yuck.
