You can configure Nutanix Guest Tools on supported VMs without mounting a CD-ROM, and individual files can be restored directly to AHV VMs through the v4 APIs instead of recovering a whole machine. NGT server certificates now renew themselves before expiry, installation is more reliable across a wider set of Linux distributions, and bundled Python and OpenSSL components have been updated to close several vulnerabilities. The release ships with AOS 7.6 and as a standalone download; note that Windows Server 2008 R2 is no longer supported from NGT 4.2 onward.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full announcement on the Nutanix community site: <a href=\"https:\/\/next.nutanix.com\/product-updates\/nutanix-guest-tools-ngt-4-6-45775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) 4.6<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NGT 4.6 takes some friction out of guest VM management.
