My VM View Connection server currently running 4.5 and I wanted to upgrade it to 4.6. 90% of my end users have the 4.5 agent and 4.5 client. Would I need to upgrade them first before upgrading the connection server to 4.6? I want to have the 4.6 available to download for local users but I am afraid if I upgrade the connection server to 4.6 that the 4.5 users wont be able to connect. From everything I have read from VM Ware it should be possible. I was wondering if anyone experienced any problems doing this upgrade?
Everything should continue to work fine as long as you upgrade all of the backend infrastructure. I waited a couple of days before I upgraded agents and clients in my environment and had no reported issues.
If your using linked clones you will want to update the parent image and push it back out instead of trying to update individual clones. Of course full desktops will have to be updated one at a time or you will have to use some sort of delivery method to upgrade them.
