This topic describes the necessary steps to deploy Citrix PVS with the Carbon Black Cloud Windows 3.7MR1+ sensor.

Procedure

  1. Put the vDisk into Private mode and access vDisk from the Designated Parent Device.
  2. Run the following command to install the Windows 3.7MR1+ sensor: 
    msiexec.exe /q /i <Sensor Installer Path> /L*v msi.log COMPANY_CODE="XYZABC" CLI_USERS=<UserGroupSid> GROUP_NAME="<NAME Virtual Policy>" AUTO_REREGISTER_FOR_CITRIX=true
    < Sensor Installer Path> : Replace this value with the location of the sensor MSI file; for example, c:\tmp\installer_win-64-3.6.0.1941.msi.
    CLI_USERS= UserGroupSid: This parameter enables RepCLI usage. The value is the Security Identifier (SID) of the user account/group that will run RepCLI commands .
    GROUP_NAME: Indicates the policy name to apply.
    Note: To establish a golden image-clone relationship with 3.8+ Windows sensors for Citrix VDIs, add both the AUTO_REREGISTER_FOR_CITRIX=true and AUTO_REREGISTER_FOR_VDI_CLONES=1 parameters to the command line.

    See Installing Windows Sensors on Endpoints and Windows Sensor Supported Commands. For more information about RepCLI, see Managing Sensors by using RepCLI in the User Guide.

  3. Shut down the Designated Parent Device.
  4. Put the vDisk into Shared mode.
  5. Start Citrix clone devices with vDisk in Shared mode.
  6. Verify that Citrix clone devices are visible in the Carbon Black Cloud console.
    Important: Do not use clone devices to access vDisk in Private mode. Always use vDisk in Private mode or Maintenance mode from the Designated Parent Device. Do not perform manual reregistration on the Parent Device.

    Remove any previous BAT scripts or other reregister mechanisms that you have set up. Leaving such mechanisms in place can cause sensors to reregister more than once.
