Welp, that worked. I have emailed my SE to ask him the same thing and he is getting conflicting answers from Engineering. Also sent him this, hopefully something gets put out about it or they update the article with this workaround at least. Thanks for the help

Office 365 Apps cannot be activated or print if they are published from Windows Server 2019-2022 (80351) (omnissa.com) I finally found this article after trying all kinds of different steps to make it work but alas it doesn't. Has anyone found a way around this to make Office 365 work via RDSH on Windows server versions 2019 or 2022? If I use 2016 it works flawlessly but with support running out of this server version very quickly and app owners wanting to move to the newer server OS versions, we need an answer to this. Using the workaround is not an option for an RDSH farm with 100 users in it and 20 hosts, it's completely insane to try to do this. Any help would be great.

Seems like someone might want to make a blog about this, 😉. Would be nice to have a full article on the process of using this feature.

I'm trying to find out more information about how to do the auto updates and register an installer package. The only information I have refers to a json file that you can download from Omnissa (VMWare) that goes along with the .exe file. For the life of me i cannot find the json file anywhere on the Omnissa site that this article refers to. Any thoughts or articles on how to actually accomplish this? Download the Horizon Agent installer and installer metadata files from the product download site. Look for the VMware Horizon download, which includes the Horizon Agent installer. The installer filename is VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-yymm-z.z.z-xxxxxxxx.exe, where yymm is the Horizon 8 release version, z.z.z is the internal = version number, and xxxxxxxx is the build number. The installer metadata filename is VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-yymm-y.y.y-xxxxxxxx-metadata.json, where yymm is the Horizon 8 release version, z.z.z is the internal = version number, and xxxxxxxx is the build number. In Horizon Console, navigate to Inventory > Horizon Agent > Registered Installer Packages to see the installer packages. On the Registered Installer Packages page, click Add. Specify the VMware-Horizon-Agent-x86_64-yymm-y.y.y-xxxxxxxx-metadata.json file to complete the agent installer package registration. Auto Upgrade Horizon Agent (omnissa.com)
