How about using the recommended removal using XenDesktopVdaSetup?

Could we run XenDesktopVdaSetup inside an RDP session without being kicked out?

Is the VM part of a Machine Catalog that is power managed?

Yes but that just means that a "Restart" is interpreted as a "Shut-Down", right? I'd like to be able to skip any Reboots when trying to run either of these Tools (inside an RDP session)...

You have the VM in maintenance mode right? If not uninstalling the VDA will be seen as a problem vm to a controller and it would likly take power management action to take the VM out of service.

^^ This, hence my question. If it is power managed then it can reboot / shutdown on Uninstall. So you need to put it into maintenance mode

OK cool, easy enough to try. Definitely use the /NOREBOOT switch, right?

Yea that should work but you'll need to put the machine in Maintenance mode otherwise the controller will see the VM go unregistered and will try and sort it out.

Got it. Thanks guys, I'll let you know how that works out.

Also, from which to which version are you upgrading? With newer VDA installers you don't need the cleanup utility

Yeah that's a good point, we're trying out that new feature, too
