Cannot start connection server service

Hi all,

I recently upgrade our View Connection Server from 5.3.4 to 6.2.2. The upgrade worked correctly and is all working fine. I then decided to upgrade the OS from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2. The upgrade of the OS went without a problem.

However, once the server was booted I noticed the View Connection server service would not start. This was because the VMWareVDMDS service was missing. As I could not find a solution I had to roll back to a snapshot I did before the upgrade of the OS.

Is there any reason why this service would be removed when the OS is upgraded? Is there a way I can repair the View install to put back the missing service if I upgrade the OS again?

Thanks,

James
