VMware Horizon – Upgrade Horizon Desktop Recording Server to v. 1.2.30

Release date: May 9th 2022

Welcome to my VMware Horizon series. In this session I will describe how I upgraded my VMware Horizon Desktop Recording Server to v. 1.2.30. 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. 1.2.30. I can now proceed with upgrading the Agents, which I will be doing using MDT, posted here: VMware Horizon – Upgrade Horizon Agent to v. 2111
