Connection server installation

[Sajith-P]

Hello,

I'm trying to automate the connection server using ansible . it tries to use port 80 for the installation by default however port 80 was already occupied by http service. Is there a way to change the default port for connection server from 80 to any other port. The command i'm using for installation is as below

c:\Installers\VMware-Horizon-Connection-Server-x86_64-8.8.0-21073894.exe /s /v" /QN FWCHOICE=1 VDM_SERV
ER_INSTANCE_TYPE=1 VDM_INITIAL_ADMIN_SID="S-1-5-32-544" VDM_SERVER_RECOVERY_PWD="passwd" VDM_SERVER_RECOVERY_PWD_REM
INDER="reminder""

According to the documentation (Silent Installation Properties for a Horizon Connection Server Standard Installation (vmware.com)) there's no option to set the port number for the Horizon services during setup.

It's also not recommended to run a webserver on the same machine as the Connection Server, so you're best option would be to remove the existing webserver or move it to another port before installing Horizon.

There seems to be way to change the ports after installation: Replace the Default HTTP Ports or NICs for Horizon Connection Server Instances (vmware.com)

However that would not solve your inital problem with the installation of course.
