Release date: January 30th 2024
Welcome to my VMware Horizon series. In this session I will describe how I upgraded my VMware Horizon Desktop Recording Server to v. 1.10.1. I start out by downloading the installation media from VMware Customer Connect
As always when upgrading VMware Horizon, before I start upgrading my Desktop Recording Server, I verify that I have a valid backup and document my settings. I start the upgrade by first verifying the installed versions from Control Panel
Next, I login on the Desktop Recording Server and launch the downloaded executable to do a manual upgrade.
I launch the Horizon Recording server installation wizard, Next…
I accept the license terms, Next…
I confirm the installation path, Next…
I’m ready, Install…
Once the installer finishes, click Finish…
After the installation is done, I can verify in Control Panel the installed version and finish off by doing a reboot. Once rebooted I log back in and verify functionality in the VMware Horizon Desktop Recording server UI.
This concludes my session about upgrading the VMware Horizon Desktop Recording Server to v. 1.10.1. Normally, in the upgrade sequence, upgrading the UAG’s would be the next step. However, as there isn’t an update to the UAG in this release, I will continue with upgrading the Horizon Agent, posted here: VMware Horizon – Upgrade Horizon Agent to v. 2312
VMware Horizon planning, deployment etc.
