I have a VM in my vSphere environment running Windows Server 2008 R2 that has update manager installed on it and is my vCenter Server installation also. After scanning it with Update Manager, it showed it needed to upgrade the VMware Tools to match the host and also needed to upgrade the VM hardware to also match the host. I upgraded the tools successfully, but when I tried to remediate the VM for the hardware, I got the following error:
"VM [VM Name] has either VMware vSphere Update Manager or VMware vCenter Server installed. This VM will be ignored for scan and remediation."
So how do I get around this since I'm using this VM to also patch/update the other hosts/VMs and it's my vCenter installation?
