VMware Tools from ESX

Resumen

VMware Tools ships with a vShield endpoint filter driver. This driver is automatically loaded when VMware Tools is installed using the Full option. This vShield driver provides functions similar to a virus scanner and is used, for example, when you work with MOVE AV Agentless.

Problema

Any of the following can occur:

The removal of Microsoft Office can fail on Windows virtual systems.
After installation of VSE on a virtual image, the Windows Task Manager can randomly show multiple instances of scan64.exe.
A system hangs or a deadlock occurs during install or upgrade of McAfee software, because of interoperability issues with vsepflt.sys.

Motivo

The kernel driver from vShield can cause a deadlock on files, because a McAfee service is waiting for VMware vsepflt.sys to complete a task, which the McAfee software blocks.

Solución

When a local virus scanner such as ENS or VSE is installed, you do not need the VMware vShield driver installed. This driver must be removed from the virtualized system.

For instructions to remove the VMware vShield driver, see the relevant VMware vShield installation guide or contact VMware Technical Support.
