      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I recently upgrade our View Connection Server from 5.3.4 to 6.2.2. The upgrade worked correctly and is all working fine. I then decided to upgrade the OS from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2. The upgrade of the OS went without a problem. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, once the server was booted I noticed the View Connection server service would not start. This was because the VMWareVDMDS service was missing. As I could not find a solution I had to roll back to a snapshot I did before the upgrade of the OS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there any reason why this service would be removed when the OS is upgraded? Is there a way I can repair the View install to put back the missing service if I upgrade the OS again?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;James&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
