This topic contains recommendations for installing the Carbon Black Cloud sensor on a Citrix golden image.

  • For optimal clone performance, allow the background scan to complete on the golden image before creating clones.
  • You can run the repcli status command to view the background scan status. For example:

    Important: Do not run repcli reregister now or repcli reregister onrestart commands on the golden image. Either command turns the golden image into a clone, which might deregister the golden image if autoderegister is set and a time-out has occurred. Deregistration of the golden image results in clones being unable to reregister.
