No option to specify the Connection server when installing View agent 7.12

[gowdaman]

I am trying to create RDS Farms on VM which is not managed by vCenter. But Horizon agent is not giving me the option to specify "Connection server details" anywhere.

I have tried below commands to install as well, the installation got succeed but the unable to locate the VM in RDS in view administrator.

VMware-viewagent-xxx-yyyyyy.exe /s /v"/qn VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0 VDM_SERVER_NAME=connection_server_name VDM_SERVER_USERNAME=admin user name VDM_SERVER_PASSWORD=admin_password"

Need help on this.

Are you sure the required ports are open between agent and connection server?

TCP and UDP Ports Used by Clients and Agents

[gowdaman]

Yes, We have check all the ports.

But we didn't even got the page where we can enter the connection server details. Not sure ports might be the issue.

Try just adding the /v "VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0" part at the end and go through the gui and see if you get an errors.

Nope. That didn't work.

Hi,

the following worked for us.

Vmware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-7.12.0-15805436.exe /v"VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0"

no Space between v and "

Hope this helps.

So, we need to run 

VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-2111.1-8.4.0-19066669.exe /v"VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0"

on cmd as admin? I tried and the gui still doesn't show the option to point the connection server. I have also been trying to install the agent for an unmanaged machine.

I have also used 

VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=0 VDM_SERVER_NAME=cs1.companydomain.com VDM_SERVER_USERNAME=admin.companydomain.com VDM_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret ADDLOCAL=Core,ThinPrint,USB"

the installation succeeded and I was able to see the broker information in the registry. But, it still didn't show up in the admin console
