Hi Experts, I am new to the Horizon World. We have 20+ Instant clone pools.
I need to patch them every Month (Windows, Office, Chrome, Edge etc)
Current process is to
Its a very Time taking process, please suggest

I was also looking for this information. Thanks for sharing.
Sort of a side question: Does anyone use the Image Management Service in production?
Thanks for sharing this information.
I am not getting the support to use Image Management service in our environment. We have already used the SCCM for creating the image (https://techzone.vmware.com/using-automation-create-optimized-windows-images-vmware-horizon-vms) but if we keep on creating new images every Month it would require help from Business for testing the apps before making the images live (wont be feasible for them to give us that Time).
Current method is taking a lot of Time, wanted to understand how others are doing it in their production environments with 20+ images.
Try to reduce images by using layering or application virtualizations.
VMware has appvolume .This would help for centralized application life cycle management.
Thank you, Funding has been requested to implement AppVol and most probably we should have it by May 2023. Hence looking for keeping these 25 images up to date every Month, driving me insane 😞
