I forgot about the VMware SDK. Yes, that also has to be updated. Regarding the guest OS mappings: If the are not there, no matter what the template is, the code will wind up always picking "Other" to send to VMware. It's not really noticeable with Linux, but Windows templates will have issues (at least that's our experience). Once the mappings are in place, it will send the right guest OS type to VMware and the drivers etc will be correct.
