VMware tools, View agents, nVidia drivers - install order?

This is our current environment

  • ESXi 6.7 Update 1 running on HPE DL380s Gen10 servers
  • VMWare View 7.6.0
  • VMWare Tools 10.2.5
  • nVidia 7.0 - this includes the vib install on the ESXi hosts as well as the nVidia driver install under Windows
  • Window 10 version 1709

I know when building a new master image, the order of install is:

  1. VMware Tools
  2. VMware View agents
  3. nVidia drivers
I now want to upgrade to VMWare tools to 10.3.5 which was just released. Which method do I use?

Method 1
Upgrade master image VMWare tools, new snapshot, recompose desktops
Method 2

  • Uninstall nVidia drivers, reboot master image
  • Uninstall VMWare view agents, reboot
  • Upgrade VMWare tools, reboot
  • Install VMWare View agents, reboot
  • Install nVidia drivers, reboots
  • Set licensing server, new snapshot, recompose desktops
