You can also use the vdmadmin command with the -S option to remove a security server from your View
environment.
You do not have to use this option if you intend to upgrade or reinstall a security server without
removing it permanently.
To make the removal permanent, perform these tasks:
1 Uninstall the View Connection Server instance or security server from the Windows Server computer by
running the View Connection Server installer.
2 Remove the Adam Instance VMwareVDMDS program from the Windows Server computer by running
the Add or Remove Programs tool.
3 On another View Connection Server instance, use the vdmadmin command to remove the entry for the
uninstalled View Connection Server instance or security server from the configuration.
If you want to reinstall View on the removed systems without replicating the View configuration of the original
group, restart all the View Connection Server hosts in the original group before performing the reinstallation.
This prevents the reinstalled View Connection Server instances from receiving configuration updates from
their original group.
Options
The -s option specifies the NetBIOS name of the View Connection Server instance or security server to be
removed.
Examples
Remove the entry for the View Connection Server instance connsvr3.
vdmadmin -S -r -s connsvr3
Setting the Split Limit for Publishing View Transfer Server Packages
Using the -T Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -T option to set the split limit for publishing View Transfer Server
packages. You might want to specify a split limit if you use a proxy cache that defines a maximum object size
for its cache.
Syntax
vdmadmin -T [-packagelimit
size ]
Usage Notes
On a network with a proxy cache, you can improve performance by limiting the size of published View Transfer
Server package files so that they are no larger than the maximum object size of the cache. If you specify a split
limit, View Transfer Server divides a package file into parts that are no larger than the limit.
Options
The -packagelimit option specifies the size of the split limit in bytes. If you do not specify this option, the
command returns the current split limit.
Examples
Set the split limit to 100MB.
vdmadmin -T -packagelimit 104857600
