11/08/2022, 11:08 AMVDA Cleanup utility, then fresh VDA install for me - especially with 2203.

Andrew Gresbach
11/08/2022, 12:07 PMThat's what I was leaning towards too. Any particular reason why especially with 2203?

11/08/2022, 12:24 PMWe saw some weirdness with 1912 CU5 > 2203 CU1 simply upgrading it.
Nick Panaccio
11/08/2022, 12:24 PMUsing the VDA removal tool first has been a 100% success rate.
Nick Panaccio
11/08/2022, 12:25 PMThat said, Ops found issues with 2203 CU1 (haven't even explained it to us yet) that halted our rollout. Sticking with 1912 until early next year.

11/08/2022, 12:28 PMHmm I'd be curious to hear more about that. We have planning sessions this week and we were possibly going to do the vda upgrade in the last 2 months of the year

Nick Panaccio
11/08/2022, 12:29 PMYeah, so would we. We're too busy to inquire more since it's not our task.

Andrew Gresbach
11/08/2022, 12:29 PMTesting first of course

11/08/2022, 12:29 PMOur environment is massive and incredibly complex, though.

Andrew Gresbach
11/08/2022, 12:30 PMThat's fair. I'll probably just be cautious with testing here to start. Thanks for the help!

11/08/2022, 2:28 PMDo you uninstall first, then use VDA Cleanup utility? Or just use the VDA Cleanup utility?
n
Nick Panaccio
11/08/2022, 2:29 PMNope, just run the VDA cleanup utility and let that handle everything. Requires a number of reboots, and when you go to install the new VDA, you're going to reboot at least once more than you normally would (IME).

Nick Panaccio
11/08/2022, 2:29 PMJust make sure that you're using the latest VDA Cleanup Utility.

11/08/2022, 2:33 PMcool yup i have a PDQ package that runs the cleanup utility and various reboots nicely so i'll just throw the silent install after

11/08/2022, 11:48 PMWould you mind sharing that PDQ package? Curious how yours is setup.

Andrew Gresbach
11/09/2022, 2:35 AMya for sure! i'm making some changes to it here and testing but i'll get something over to you tomorrow !
Andrew Gresbach
11/09/2022, 3:16 AMalright here's what we have.....this was for when we made the jump to 1912 so it runs the cleanup utility, needed reboots inbetween and then new VDA install w/ command line arguments (tweak to your needs). Not sure if the SetDisplayRequiredMode option is still needed but we've always needed to throw that in or our idle time lock group policy would never work

11/10/2022, 3:47 PMExcellent. Thank very much! Ours package was pretty similar, mostly some extra stuff to address unique items in our environment.

11/11/2022, 1:43 PMyou bet! do you mind sharing yours just to see if there's anything we might find helpful to tweak on our side? always happy to find better ways to do things
