The VMware Remote Console is not resizing the virtual machine to fit the window, even though I have that setting set. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this work?
- VMware Remote Console version 12
- vCenter 6.5
- VM version 10
- VMware Tools is of course installed: v.10.0.9
- launched from Chrome
- guest OS that is having a problem: Windows Server 2019
vcenter 6.5 is quite old and general support will end this year on October 15th 2022.
Is this on purpose due to hardware restrictions or a restricted enterprise environment?
Which guest OS is affected? Windows or Linux only.
Take look here for Ubuntu. https://linuxconfig.org/install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

Most systems detect if they are running within a VM and install openvm-tools which is more or less the open source standard today. As far as I know. Vmware tools aren't in development any more for linux because of openvm-tools they come shipped with the distro.
Is it only the window or is the resolution itself not changing. Keep in mind you have to increase vram for VM in case you need higher resolution then 1920x1080.
