Carbon Black Windows Sensors with Horizon Virtual Desktops

This section describes how to deploy Carbon Black Cloud Windows 3.6+ sensors on Horizon full clones and Horizon instant clones 7.13, Horizon 2012 or later.

Before you install the Carbon Black Cloud Windows sensor, make sure that you are following standard Horizon best practices, including optimizing the golden image. The versions of the Carbon Black Cloud sensor and Horizon that you are using must be compatible and supported. See the VMware Interoperability Matrix.

Review the following requirements and implement the recommended best practices. If the best practices included here are not the preferred method for deployment, an alternative configuration that uses the OFFLINE_INSTALL switch is supported. This is useful for organizations who want to create a golden image and clone it to offline computers. See Windows Sensor Supported Commands.

See Installing Sensors on Endpoints in a VDI Environment for preliminary instructions.
