Horizon View Agent 2212 Silent Installer Argument

axm3196 — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 19:05:09 GMT

I'm following the silent install directions in the following link to install the latest Horizon Agent 2212

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon/2212/virtual-desktops/GUID-3096DA8B-034B-435B-877E-5D2B18672A95.html

All is working as expected, except there is now a Storage Drive Redirection that I do not wish to have added to the install. The documentation does not include the installation option name for this like the others. Anyone know what I should use so that it does not install? I've tried things like Remove=StorageDriveRedirection but the installs error if you don't use the correct name.

We got reports of this for the 1st time this week (We are on version 7.7). And it was addressed in 7.9. From Horizon View 7.9 release notes

Release Notes for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.9 Looked under What's new for Horizon Agent.

Blast log files rotation has been improved to take up less disk space and reduce production issues.

We are exploring this process. Did this method or creating AppStacks from SCCM deployments work well for you?

Silent Installer for Horizon View Agent 7.5.1 has no option for Horizon Collaboration

axm3196 — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 17:14:58 GMT

We are setting up a silent installation for Horizon View 7.5.1 agents. I have all of the options that we would like to add to the install, but I can't find the option to add the Collaboration add-on.

I'm using the following page as guidance: Silent Installation Properties for Horizon Agent

I also noticed the Horizon Performance Tracker is installed on the desktop is there a switch to not have that added?

Components that we have added:

Core - Core Agent
RTAV - Real-Time Audio-Video
FlashURLRedirection - Flash URL Redirection This feature is hidden unless you use the VDM_FLASH_URL_REDIRECTION=1 property on the command line.
ThinPrint - Virtual Printing
VmwVaudio - VMware Audio (virtual audio driver)
TSMMR - Windows Media Multimedia Redirection (MMR)
RDP - This feature enables RDP in the registry if you use the RDP_CHOICE=1 property on the command line or select RDP as the default display protocol when you create or edit a desktop pool in View AdministratorThis feature is hidden during interactive installations.
VMWMediaProviderProxy - VMware Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business feature.
FLASHMMR - Flash Redirection
HTML5MMR - HTML5 Multimedia Redirection
PerfTracker - Horizon Performance Tracker
NGVC - Instant Clone Agent

And Here is the installer script:

VMware-viewagent-x86_64-7.5.1-9182637.exe /s /v"/qn VDM_VC_MANAGED_AGENT=1 VDM_FLASH_URL_REDIRECTION=1 RDP_CHOICE=1 INSTALL_VDISPLAY_DRIVER=1 ADDLOCAL=Core,ThinPrint,NGVC,VmwVaudio,FlashURLRedirection,FLASHMMR,HTML5MMR,RTAV,TSMMR,VMWMediaProviderProxy,PerfTracker" /l ""%temp%\Horizonview_Install.log""

We are implementing Tag matching between the Connection servers and Desktop Pools and was wondering if there is a way to script this? Powercli or and admin commands?

Re: Installing PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2 on Horizon View Connection Servers

axm3196 — Wed, 09 Dec 2015 15:28:15 GMT

I found the answer:

Documentation for VMware Horizon 6 version 6.2

You can use View PowerCLI cmdlets in conjunction with vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets. vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets provide an administrative interface to VMware vSphere. If vSphere PowerCLI is installed on a View Connection Server instance, the vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets load when you launch View PowerCLI.

Installing PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2 on Horizon View Connection Servers

axm3196 — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 17:14:36 GMT

The version of PowerCLI on the view connection servers only have view related cmdlets, Is there a reason a full version of PowerCLI is not installed by default? I've looked around and have not been able to find anything on this... could we install the latest PoweCLI 6 Release 2 on our connection servers and it not effect the current view snappin?
