Welcome to my Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager series. In this session I will describe how I upgraded the Dynamic Environment Manager GPO templates to v. 2512. According to Omnissa’s official documentation, this should be done as step 12 in the supported update sequence.
I start out by downloading the installation media from Omnissa Customer Connect
Previously I’ve done this manually, but this time I will be doing the admx-upgrade from my management server, using the PowerShell script below. The workflow of the script is as follows:
Prerequisites:
- PowerShell Administrative access to the server running the DEM Management Console
- Permissions to write to SYSVOL PolicyDefinitions folder
- Run script in Administrative Powershell session
dem-copyAdmx.ps1
# Dynamic Environment Manager Admx Upgrade script
$installDir = "C:\Install"
New-Item -Path $installDir -type directory -Force
$demZip = "<network-path>\Omnissa-DEM-Enterprise*.zip"
Expand-Archive -Path $demZip -DestinationPath $installDir
$admxSource = Get-Item $installDir\*ADMX*
$admxDestination = '<network-path>\PolicyDefinitions'
Copy-Item -Path $admxSource\* -Destination $admxDestination -Recurse -Force
Remove-Item –path $installDir –Recurse -Force
This concludes my session about upgrading the Dynamic Environment Manager Management GPO Templates to v. 2512. With that done, as there aren’t any updates to the DEM Profiler, my DEM Upgrades are done.
