VDI Endpoint Groups
Upon activation, a VDI endpoint is added to the appropriate VDI Endpoint Group on Dell Server, and policies
are sent to the endpoint. Persistent VDI Endpoint Groups and Non-Persistent VDI Endpoint Groups are System
Endpoint Groups, which are maintained by Dell Server.
Policy settings differ, based on whether persistent or non-persistent VDI is deployed in the environment. For
an explanation of the differences between persistent and non-persistent VDI, see
Persistent vs. Non-
Persistent VDI.
Policy and Configuration Requirements for VDI Endpoint Groups
The policy requirements below are for VDI endpoints running Advanced Threat Prevention. The list includes
only policies that are significant for VDI endpoints. VDI User policy settings must also meet certain
requirements. See Policy and Configuration Requirements for VDI Users
.
Note: Ensure that you turn off Advanced Threat Prevention Agent Auto Update. In the left pane of the
Remote Management Console, select Management > Services Management > Advanced Threats - Agent
Auto Update, then select Off.
Note: With Persistent VDI Groups, ensure that roaming user profiles are configured.
