VMware DEM – Upgrade Manager to v. 2111

Release date: January 24th 2022

Welcome to my VMware Dynamic Environment Manager series. In this session I will describe how I upgraded the VMware DEM Manager to v. 2111. I start out by downloading the installation media from VMware Customer Connect

Before I start the upgrade, I verify the installed build, 10.3.0.993

I first log in to my DEM management server, browse to the temporary folder where I downloaded the “VMware-DEM-Enterprise-2111-10.4-GA.zip” file and extract it.

I start the upgrade by launching the “VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise 2111 10.4 x64.msi” file. When the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise Setup Wizard launches, Next

I accept the license terms, Next

I confirm the destination folder, Next

Select the VMware DEM Management Console feature, Next

Upgrade

Once the installer finishes, click Finish

Once the upgrade is complete, I can verify the installed build in Control Panel, 10.4.0.1013.

This concludes my session about upgrading the DEM Manager to v. 2111. I can now proceed with upgrading the GPO-bundles, posted here: VMware DEM – Upgrade GPO Templates to v. 2111
