I would suggest you do a parallel upgrade. Meaning deploy a completely new environment. I would suggest using a newer version oh Horizon View rather than 7.8. Maybe 7.10? Why would I suggest that? Well, if you are going to put the effort to deploy this environment you might as well do some research on big and fixes, new features, as well as linked clones/instant clones feature parity. Instead of deploying Horizon View brokers using Win 2016, I would usuggest 2019. Why? End of life support. Why use older version of OS unless license is an issue. Newer version with an extended end of life support equal less worry about upgrading the OS any time soon. I would ditch linked clones and go with instant clones unless there is a feature in linked clones that is not available in instant clones. Once you ditch linked clones you no longer have to deal with composer servers. Now you have 2 less servers to manage. By doing a parallel deployment you can do your testing without impacting production. It would be clean. You will not be bringing any ADAM database issues along with the install. You can create your desktops, entitled the users to it and when you are ready to migrate them from the previous environment you simply change the F5 LB to point the VIP to the new member servers. With this plan, your scheduled downtime is only a few minutes. :smileyplain:
