the VM immediately after installing the Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise client. Shut down the master image
once the registry change has been made.

Prior to deploying the VDI pools, ensure that Policy Based Encryption and Advanced Threat Prevention have
been turned on at the DDP Server on the correct Endpoint group.
Recomposing or updating VDI pools
Any updates to the master image require that the master image is started before changes can be made. If the
master image starts it will attempt to activate which will cause conflicts in the DDP Server.
In order to prevent the master image performing an activation before an update or recompose with the DDP
server set the following for the correct Endpoint group (Non-Persistent/Persistent VDI Endpoint group) on the
DDP server.
Turn off Policy Based Encryption
Turn off Advanced Threat Prevention
