    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am currently running View 5.1 and the tools have been upgraded on dedicated full VMs.&amp;nbsp; I have read in the past, a reinstallation of the agent is needed. Is this still true today?&amp;nbsp; If so, can somebody please give me some details on the issue and maybe some supporting documentation? It hasn't seemed to affect PCoIP connections from what I can tell.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If a reinstallation IS needed, would upgrading the agent to 5.2 before upgrading the connection servers cause issues?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt; The issue was primarily due to the display drivers installed by both tools and View agent. Older tools (and agent) versions would always replace the drivers, potentially causing a mismatch with the rest of the View agent - which needed matching drivers for PCoIP sessions to work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;It hasn't seemed to affect PCoIP connections from what I can tell. &lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If that's the case, you should be fine to leave your VMs alone - if the upgrade had broken something you'd know about it. I _think_ that the version of tools included with ESXi 5.1 and onwards has had the installer fixed, but I don't have the specifics.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
