3 Uninstall all instances of Horizon Connection Server.
Uninstall both VMware Horizon Connection Server and AD LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS.
4 Install one instance of Connection Server.
5 Stop the Connection Server instance by stopping the Windows service VMware Horizon
Connection Server.
6 Click Start > Command Prompt.
7 Decrypt the encrypted LDIF file.
At the command prompt, type the vdmimport command. Specify the -d option, the -p option
with the data recovery password, and the -f option with an existing encrypted LDIF file
followed by a name for the decrypted LDIF file. For example:
vdmimport -d -p mypassword
-f MyEncryptedexport.LDF > MyDecryptedexport.LDF
If you do not remember your data recovery password, type the command without the -p
option. The utility displays the password reminder and prompts you to enter the password.
8 Import the decrypted LDIF file to restore the View LDAP configuration.
Specify the -f option with the decrypted LDIF file. For example:
vdmimport -f MyDecryptedexport.LDF

11 Log in to Horizon Administrator and validate that the configuration is correct.
12 Start the View Composer instances.
13 Reinstall the replica server instances.
14 Start the security server instances.
Results
If there is a risk that the security servers have inconsistent configuration, they should also be
uninstalled rather than stopped and then reinstalled at the end of the process.
