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
- Using CIM instead of WMI
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testcomputer -ScriptBlock {Get-Ciminstance -classname win32_product -filter "name like 'Vmware Tools'" | Invoke-Cimmethod -methodname uninstall}
Remove Horizon Agent
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testcomputer -ScriptBlock {Get-Ciminstance -classname win32_product -filter "name like 'Vmware Horizon Agent'" | Invoke-Cimmethod -methodname uninstall}
VMTools Install Options
setup64.exe /s /v"/qn /l*v c:\vtools.log ADDLOCAL=ALL"
