Distribute the legacy VMware tools to all host

  • 1.  Distribute the legacy VMware tools to all host

    We are running a vSphere 6.7 with workstations running Windows XP and Server 2003.  We need to install VMware tools appropriate to this OS.  On a previous occasion, I just download the legacy VMWare tools zip file and copy the ISO file to each host.  For 7 or 8 hosts this was not much trouble.

    My problem is that need to deploy that legacy VMware tool to 37 hosts. 

    Is it possible to create a VIB file and deploy it via Update Manager to each host?

    Any recommendation on how to automate this deployment?
