1. Download patch.py and issue_116.patch by replacing <output-directory> with the directory to download the patch script and patch file, <res_version> with the RES version, and <environment-name> with the name of your RES environment in the command below:
   1. The patch applies to RES 2025.06.01 and earlier
   2. The patch script requires AWS CLI v2, Python 3.9.16 or above, and Boto3.
   3. Configure the AWS CLI for the account / region where RES is deployed, and make sure that you have S3 permissions to write to the bucket created by RES.

OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=<output-directory>
ENVIRONMENT_NAME=<environment-name>
RES_VERSION=<res-version>
ACCOUNT_ID=<account-id>

mkdir -p ${OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}
curl https://research-engineering-studio-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/releases/${RES_VERSION}/patch_scripts/patch.py --output ${OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/patch.py
curl https://research-engineering-studio-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/releases/${RES_VERSION}/patch_scripts/patches/issue_116.patch --output ${OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/issue_116.patch

2. Navigate to the directory where the patch script and patch file are downloaded. Run the following patch command:

python3 ${OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/patch.py --environment-name ${ENVIRONMENT_NAME} --res-version ${RES_VERSION} --module virtual-desktop-controller --patch ${OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/issue_116.patch

3. Restart the Virtual Desktop Controller instance for your environment. You may also terminate the instance from the Amazon EC2 Management Console.

INSTANCE_ID=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \
            --filters \
            Name=tag:Name,Values=${ENVIRONMENT_NAME}-vdc-controller \
            Name=tag:res:EnvironmentName,Values=${ENVIRONMENT_NAME}\
            --query "Reservations[0].Instances[0].InstanceId" \
            --output text)

aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids ${INSTANCE_ID}

4. Verify the Virtual Desktop Controller instance status by checking the activity of the auto scaling group starting with the name <RES-EnvironmentName>-vdc-controller-asg. Wait until the new instance is launched successfully.
