Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I really need help here, ohh and my internet is wireless. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 8. Report abuse. I am trying to upgrade to 7. Any suggestions? Are you asking if Security Servers should be removed from the console before you upgrade to 7. Currently on server R2. Want to go to Then decommission the older ones. Be mindful of load balancing configurations.

Hi Carl, After upgrading to 7. VMware really wants you to migrate to Unified Access Gateway. Hi Carl, We have 2 each of r2 connection and security servers and composer , running 7. We need to update due to old Apache versions.

Can they be upgraded directly to 7. Hi Carl, is there any implications on relation Golden Image Agent and Connection Server if the versions are different. For example, Horizon Agent on GI is 7. Is it mandatory to upgrade Connection Server as well? Hi Carl, We are planning to upgrade our vCenter 6.

Our current vCenter 6. Let me know if you have any suggestions or guide to handle this type of migrations. Do it during a maintenance window.

After migration, do a Push Image on your pools so it resets the vCenter connection. Thanks Carl, Do we need to disable all instant clone pools in that vCenter before performing this migration or need to perform anything from the Horizon side?

At the same time, I updated them from Horizon View 7. My Security servers are still running win Kind of new to this stuff. Not necessarily flying blind. But, maybe with a patch over one eye. Thanks for any light you can shed. Similar issue recently upgrading my security server to 7. Hi Carl, I was hoping you could help me.

We have a new deployment of horizon 7. My problem is that we are now going to have users alternate days working remotely and in the office. VMware support told me it was a certificate issue and to just add the connection server fqdn to the certificate. Am I doing something wrong or is this not even possible? Do you thing the best path to upgrade my enviroment is: a. Which method do you thing is saver? Thanks for your reply. The second question: horizon upgrade by installing new composer and connection server and then remove old servers composer and connection server or is it possible to upgrade in place composer and connection servers.

Recently we stood up another environment at our DR site. Is there an environment change that could be causing this? Our concern is that a reboot of our production server may result with the same issue there.

Do you see anything the Connection Server logs? I am having active passive setup for production environment. And planning to upgrade to latest version 7. Before proceeding with production i want to built an development environmemt. Please help me. Did you follow this procedure? Great articles as always. I did have one point of information that perhaps you could clarify. In my environment, we did setup 2 connection servers, a primary and a replica.

We also have a Kemp VLB load balancing the 2. What is the proper method for upgrading them in a nondisruptive way? Should I disable a connection server inside of Horizon? Inside of the Kemp console? One server was rebooted post windows updates and every connection was disconnected. Restarting one should not affect the other. And restarting one should not drop connections if tunneling truly is disabled.

Can we collect this report from VROPs or can we create dashboard fro the same? Horizon Toolbox used to collect info like this. If so, you can query the database. Otherwise, you can create a login script to capture the data. We recently setup a new environment with two connection servers. Triple checked and the cert does have the private key as well as it being exportable.

We are confused as to why this one is happening on this server but not the other. Any help would be appreciated. Hi Carl, Is there a way to get the list of horizon client versions used by the users. I know that we can see it in new html5 admin console but I am looking for list of users so looking them individually wont work. I tried vrops 8 too but I could find a way to get it. Please help. I wanted to upgrade the environment — switchting to UAG Server 3.

If your pools are non-persistent, then you can use your existing masters to rebuild the pools in the new environment. Or create new masters with new OS version. For existing persistent, Full Clone machines, you can add them to a Manual pool on the new environment. If they are linked clones, then you might have to convert them to Full Clones first by cloning each one. I have recently installed a Horizon 7.

Every time I try to get a machine added to a manual desktop pool, it usually takes about a minute before the status reflects with an Error state in the web portal. Looking in the log file, I see a debug message with following:. I exported the self-signed cert from VCenter and added it as a trusted root for my Horizon server but still run into the same issue.

Do you have an internal Certificate Authority that all machines can access? This error looks like a problem with the Connection Serer certificate. Hi Carl, Great post! I seem to be unable to log into the Horizon Console after a fresh install. I tried with both domain controller and local users. Neither seems to work. Any tips on where to look for solutions? Thank you in advance. The person that installed the product should be able to log in. Hi Carl.

Just wanted to thank you for your very informative blog. I setup horizon a year ago here at my work. I seriously think they were made by robots for robots.

Your in depth explainations have made even upgrading the environment painless whereas reading on vmware horizon how to upgrade they make it sound like everything is going to break. Your step by step visual documentation is a life saver. Thank you so much..

I have become a huge fan of your knowledge. Normally I would just update Horizon in place, but if I want to replace the servers with Svr , what would be the easiest way? Can I add in the two new servers and promote one to the primary and then remove the R2? Or would another method be easier? I would probably in-place upgrade your existing Connection Servers to 7.
