Although an EPI agent can generally interact with multiple servers, Citrix Provisioning Server requires a
dedicated EPI agent. You must install one EPI agent for each Citrix Provisioning Server instance, providing
the name of the server hosting it. The credentials under which the agent runs must have administrative
access to the Citrix Provisioning Server instance.
Consult the vRealize Automation Support Matrix for information about supported versions of Citrix PVS.
Citrix Agent Host Requirements
PowerShell and Citrix Provisioning Services SDK must be installed on the installation host prior to agent
installation. Consult the vRealize Automation Support Matrix on the VMware Web site for details.
Verify that Microsoft PowerShell is installed on the installation host before agent installation. The version
required depends on the operating system of the installation host. See Microsoft Help and Support.
You must also ensure that the PowerShell Snap-In is installed. For more information, see the Citrix
Provisioning Services PowerShell Programmer's Guide on the Citrix Web site.
MS PowerShell Execution Policy is set to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. See “Set the PowerShell Execution
Policy to RemoteSigned,” on page 96.
For more information about PowerShell Execution Policy, run help about_signing or help Set-
ExecutionPolicy at the PowerShell command prompt.
Install the Citrix Agent
External provisioning integration (EPI) PowerShell agents integrate external systems into the machine
provisioning process. Use the EPI PowerShell agent to integrate with Citrix provisioning server to enable
provisioning of machines by on-demand disk streaming.
