what effect does restarting vmware tools have on the OS? Is it possible to do this without effecting the working of the OS?
You should be fine.
I check it out on a server and the network work fine during the restart.

It is posible !!!
Hi,
Restating Vmware tools doesn't disturb much on the Guest OS.
Instead of loggin in to the system, You can try this script for multiple systems. http://ict-freak.nl/2009/05/05/restart-vmware-tools-on-all-windows-vms/
