      ESXi 5.5 U2.  Updated from 2.1.5 to 2.2 RC (amd64, missed the build ID) today and Open VM Tools could not send receive a shutdown to pfSense from the vSphere client.  The error message was:

      Call "VirtualMachine.ShutdownGuest" for object "pfSense" on ESXi "192.168.144.1" failed.

      [edit due to rushed post]

        Indeed, the first attempt fails, if you try it again it's successful. Not something I have time to dig into at the moment.

          Thanks.  I can live with that workaround.

          I only have brief and irregular windows of opportunity to test, so didn't try a second time.

          postfix not working on 2.2  is the show-stopper for me at the moment.

            This may or may not be related but I noticed the following error in a test update to 2.2 today.

            It also appeared in previous update tests but I missed it.  It occurs right after re-install of Open VMware Tools.
