Upgrade Horizon Agent
No easy way to do this. Consultants and the internet state you need to
- Uninstall Agent
- Reboot
- Uninstall VMTools
- Reboot
- Install VMTools
- Reboot
- Install Agent
There was one desktop that I was unable to gain access, which made it difficult to remove the software. Found an article [5] that explained how to use wmic to remotely remove software. This is the process I am working on to automate some of this process when using full clones instead of linked clones.
Remove VMTools
Initial Attempt
(Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product -ComputerName "testcomputer" | where {$_.name -match 'vmware tools'}).uninstall
Using CIM instead of WMI
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testcomputer -ScriptBlock {Get-Ciminstance -classname win32_product -filter "name like 'Vmware Horizon Agent'" | Invoke-Cimmethod -methodname uninstall}
Remove Horizon Agent
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product -ComputerName "testcomputer" | where {$_.name -match 'vmware horizon agent'}
VMTools Install Options
setup64.exe /s /v"/qn /l*v c:\vtools.log ADDLOCAL=ALL"
Agent Install Options
VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-7.7.0-11054235.exe /v" /qn INSTALL_VDISPLAY_DRIVER=1 /l*v c:\H477.log ADDLOCAL=Core,USB,RTAV,ClientDriveRedirection,ScannerRedirection,GEOREDIR,ThinPrint,SmartCard,VmwVaudio,SdoSensor,PerfTracker"
