Part 2: Install and Configure View Connection Server 7

Pre-requisites: Connection server component is installed on a Windows server box which is not a vCenter server.

NOTE: I have installed connection server component on its own server.

Execute the file named “VMware-viewconnectionserver-x86_64-7.0.0-3633490.exe” on the windows server dedicated to View Connection server and follow the prompts as the pictures depicted below
