    I used to use https://packages.vmware.com/tools in automation to fetch the latest version of vmware tools and deploy it when creating lab environments.

    Since that has now been killed, does anyone know of a public method to check for and download the latest version without authenticating interactively?

    The URL https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/latest/ still works.

    It looks like it all came back online. I wonder if this morning's outage was just an intermittent problem or if the facility is getting taken down permanently...

    Thanks for the update, I wouldn't have returned to check otherwise...

    is there any other place ?

    Something is certainly wrong, the link I posted above is still broken, but you can navigate up until you find https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/.
