Configuration Policies for Desktop Virtualization Support

After installing the CA DSM Agent VDI Support Add-On package, configure CA ITCM configuration policies for virtual desktops. Some of these policies are mandatory and preset by the VMware View. Other policies are optional and require input as documented.

A new registration policy group is added and other configuration policy groups are extended to provide support for managing virtual desktops that are provided by Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View.

Note: Apply the configuration policies to the agents of the cloned virtual desktops and to the agents of the golden templates. This process must be done with the exception of the mandatory locally managed policies preset by the cloning scripts before saving the golden template snapshot.

The policy is not automatically inherited by the cloned virtual desktops from the golden template. When the cloned virtual desktop values and the centrally managed policy values are different, the values are overwritten shortly after the registration with the manager.
