Installing the eG VM Agent

Users have multiple options to choose from when it comes to installing the eG VM Agent. These options have been discussed below:

• Manually install the eG VM Agent on every citrix virtual desktop on the cloud using the executable that eG Enterprise provides;

• Bundle the eG VM Agent as part of a template VM, and use this template to create multiple desktops on the cloud; this way, the eG VM Agent is automatically available in all the virtual desktops that are created using the template;

• Use a software distribution solution such as Microsoft System Center to distribute the eG VM Agent software to citrix desktops on the cloud from a central location;

• Connect to each citrix desktop on the cloud and silently install the eG VM Agent on it, without using the executable that eG Enterprise provides.

• Where citrix desktops are to be monitored, install the eG VM Agent on each citrix desktop.

The first, third, and fourth installation options alone are discussed here.
