RESOLVED ISSUES:

Using vmrun commands to perform guest operations inside a Mac virtual machine fail:
- When you use a vmrun command, such as vmrun runProgramInGuest/copyFileFromHostToGuest/listProcessesInGuest, to perform guest operations inside a Mac virtual machine, the command fails with the the following error: Error: Authentication failure or insufficient permissions in guest operating system. All subsequent attempts to run the same command fail with the following error: Error: Invalid user name or password for the guest OS.

You cannot use shared folders in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 virtual machine:
- After enabling and adding a shared folder to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 virtual machine, none of the added shared folders are available in the /mnt/hgfs directory in the virtual machine.

After users execute Active FTP in the guest operating system, the vmnat.exe process continues to use a TCP port of the host:
- The vmnat.exe process consumes a new TCP port on the host when users execute Active FTP on the guest. The process does not release the TCP port even when the FTP session is closed.

ThinPrint technology does not work in a Windows XP guest operating system with VMware Tools 10.0.10:
- When users use a Windows XP guest with VMware Tools 10.0.10, they cannot see host printers that are mapped to the guest with ThinPrint technology. This issue is resolved with VMware Tools 10.0.12 when you perform a clean installation. Upgrading from VMware Tools 10.0.10 to 10.0.12 does not resolve the issue.
