Upgrading VMTools with PowerCLI

I recently got asked if it is possible to upgrade the VMTools on a VM at the VM level and target a group of them, but not at a host or cluster level. The answer is yes. There are multiple ways to handle VMtools upgrades/patching. Below I will show how it can be done via the UI and also using PowerCLI where you can target an array of VM objects.
