VMware Horizon 7.10以下版本必看，你可能无法用浏览器登录管理员界面了！

Adobe Flash Player将在2021年1月1日停止工作。

对于这个点，可以在Adobe的网站上看到Flash的相关信息：https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html。

如果您使用的是VMware Horizo​​n 7.10之前版本，则这可能非常重要。由于有代码可以阻止您在任何浏览器中使用Flash，因此应采取积极措施以应对Flash在2020年12月31日之后的停用。

VMware已发布了一个方便的知识库，以为您提供一些指导。您可以在以下位置找到该知识库文章：https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78589

尽管知识库文章涉及多种VMware产品，但我将把本文中限制为Horizo​​n。如您所见，我们建议至少使用Horizo​​n 7.10来克服Flash EOL。

以前的基于Flash的Horizo​​n Administrator已被基于HTML5的Horizo​​n Console取代。在Horizo​​n 7.10中，新的Horizo​​n Console是Horizo​​n Administrator的几乎完整功能的替代品。有两个功能尚未移植，也不会移植到Horizo​​n的任何将来版本中：

• ThinApp管理– Horizo​​n中的此管理功能是一个很少使用的旧功能。例如，仍然可以通过向Dynamic Environment Manager注册应用程序来将ThinApp与Horizo​​n一起使用。需要说明的是，ThinApp仍然受到很大的支持-不推荐使用基于Flash的Horizo​​n Administrator中的ThinApp管理功能。
• 安全管理服务器管理-如果您仍在运行Horizo​​n Security Server，则应积极迁移到Unified Access Gateway。从Horizo​​n 8 2006开始不推荐使用Security Server，并且几年来我们一直建议迁移。如果发现自己陷入困境并需要管理安全服务器，则克里斯·霍尔斯特德（Chris Halstead）创建了不受支持的脚本，并带有GUI来执行此操作。您可以在这里的代码中找到它。但是，您确实需要迁移到Unified Access Gateway。

理想情况下，我们建议您升级到Horizo​​n 7.13，这是Horizo​​n 7的最终版本，该版本将于2020年10月15日全面上市。如果您是Horizo​​n 7.10 ESB客户，则可以不选择该版本，因此可以继续使用在Horizo​​n 7.10 ESB上具有上述概述的注意事项。

VMware发布了Horizo​​n 7升级指南，以帮助您计划升级。我建议您阅读它以了解升级的一般过程。升级指南中包含一个兼容性列表，可帮助您在升级过程中就Horizo​​n组件的混合版本做出决策。

 

如果您不使用链接克隆，永久性磁盘或View Persona，也可以升级到Horizo​​n8。如果使用这些功能，则可能需要做一些计划以迁移到Horizo​​n 8。出色的指南，名为“为新视野改造VDI”。

从本文档的第28页开始，Adobe还提供了一些有关Enterprise Enablement的其他信息，这些信息可能提供有关如何管理Flash寿命终止的其他信息。需要明确的是，VMware建议将Horizo​​n安装升级到不需要Flash的版本是最佳策略。

因此，请确保您已为2021年1月1日的Adobe Flash寿命终止做好准备。如果您已经是Horizo​​n 7客户，那么至少要使用Horizo​​n 7.10确实应该很简单。

Adobe Flash Player will stop working on January 1, 2021.

For those of you who have perhaps missed this, you can read about the Flash end-of-life on Adobe’s website here.

This is potentially very important if you are a VMware Horizon 7 customer running a version of Horizon prior to 7.10. It is unlikely that you will be able to get around Flash being discontinued, as there is code to prevent you from using it in any browser, and active steps are being taken to prevent it from being used past December 31, 2020.

VMware has published a handy KB to give you some guidance on which versions of our products you need to use in order to navigate through the sunset of Flash. You can find that KB here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78589

Although the KB deals with multiple VMware products, I am going to restrict the recommendations in this article to Horizon. As you can see, we recommend a minimum of Horizon 7.10 to overcome the Flash EOL.

The previous Flash-based Horizon Administrator has been replaced by the HTML5-based Horizon Console. In Horizon 7.10, the new Horizon Console is a nearly feature-complete replacement for the Horizon Administrator. There are two features that were not ported and will not be ported to any future version of Horizon:

• ThinApp Management – This management feature in Horizon is a legacy feature that was very lightly used. You can still use ThinApp with Horizon by registering applications with Dynamic Environment Manager, for example. To be clear, ThinApp is still very much supported—it is the ThinApp Management feature from the Flash-based Horizon Administrator that has been deprecated.
• Security Server Management – If you are still running Horizon Security Servers, you should be actively moving to Unified Access Gateway. Security Servers are deprecated as of Horizon 8 2006 and we have been advising migration for a few years now. If you find yourself in a bind and need to manage Security Servers, Chris Halstead has created an unsupported script with a GUI to do just that. You can find it on code here. However, you really need to migrate to Unified Access Gateway.

Ideally, we recommend that you upgrade to Horizon 7.13, which is the final Horizon 7 release that became generally available on October 15, 2020. If you are a Horizon 7.10 ESB customer, you may not have that as an option, so you can remain on Horizon 7.10 ESB with the caveats outlined above.

VMware publishes an upgrade guide for Horizon 7 to help you plan your upgrade. I suggest you read it to understand the general process of upgrades. Within the upgrade guide is a compatibility matrix to aid you in making decisions regarding mixing versions of the Horizon components during the upgrade process.

 

If you are not using linked clones, persistent disks, or View Persona, you can also upgrade to Horizon 8. If you are using those features, you may need to do some planning to migrate to Horizon 8. To help with that, we have an excellent guide called Modernizing VDI for a New Horizon.

Adobe also has some additional information about Enterprise Enablement that can be found starting on page 28 of this document that might provide some additional information about how to manage the Flash end-of-life. To be clear, VMware recommends that upgrading your Horizon installation to a version that does not require Flash is the best strategy.

So, please make sure that you are prepared for the end-of-life of Adobe Flash on January 1st, 2021. Don’t delay acting on this if you have not already done so. It really should be straightforward to get to at least Horizon 7.10 if you are already a Horizon 7 customer.
