VMWare tools always wrecks my shit!

Does anyone else despise VMWare tools for Windows Server environments? Every time corp releases a new package in our vcenters all hell breaks loose and I burn a whole Saturday fucking with something to get it working correctly. Eventually NICs disconnect and IPs drop so it forces the upgrade. I then have to snapshot in a hurry in case the install goes hairy.

Legacy servers can't handle new SCSI drivers and servers lock up on reboot. When the drivers reinstall I also then get to reset all my DNS and static IPs. Sometimes I have to remove and re-add securities for shares.

I don't understand why it is soooo difficult to keep it stable.
