First shutdown attempt of guest fails with open-vm-tools
0%
Description
The first attempt to send a guest shutdown results in:
Call "VirtualMachine.ShutdownGuest" for object "VM name" on vCenter Server "vcenter-hostname" failed.
The second attempt works. Confirmed on both 32 and 64 bit.

The root cause of this is the package script
/usr/pbi/open-vm-tools-amd64/local/share/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network
calling the non-existing system scripts
/etc/rc.d/netif
/etc/rc.d/dhclient
A workaround is to prevent the VMware Tools scripts from running as described here:

I note that you recently made some changes. Were these released in the _11 release of VMWare_Tools. However, after installing this seems to have the same issues as the previous package. It appears the changes are not in the _11 release. Was this intended?

there was still some work in progress there. The _12 version is available now.
