Here’s how to set this up in your environment: If the agent is detected then the process will just move along to the next task. If the agent is not installed then the installation process kicks off and installs the agent and registers with the cloud console. The process checks to see if the Trend agent is installed or not as soon as the network is available. Since the network is required for the Trend agent to register with the cloud management console the “Network available” trigger makes the most sense compared to computer startup or user logon triggers. With that said, we reverse engineered the steps from the VBscript that Trend Micro provides and utilized a node within the “Network available” trigger inside an AppSense Environment Manager policy. The Environment Manager component from AppSense Desktop now is a simple yet powerful tool that can be used to handle any use case that a traditional startup or logon script would handle. We utilize the AppSense Desktop Now suite for our VDI solutions to manage policy and user environment management needs. More information on the installation process can be found here. After researching the options, we discovered that Trend Micro has provided a fairly simple VBscript for service providers. We chose to tackle automating this process for the sake of time.

This process proved to be very time consuming.

When cloning an image you will have to run the Security Agent ClientID Regeneration tool provided by Trend Micro or manually install each agent on a per-machine basis. Each agent has a unique GUID that will identify the machine with the cloud management console and the cloning operation doesn’t generate a new GUID for the Trend client whether it is a VDI machine or deployed with traditional imaging software. You would think that it would be simpler to just to put the Trend security agent in the golden image for VDI or the base image for a traditional imaging solution for physical PCs, but that is not the case. This is due to the requirements for the client agents to have a unique identifier.

After performing a handful of deployments with VDI environments and physical PC imaging deployments, we realized the process is very manual and time consuming. Trend Micro Worry Free Business is a great security solution that is used by many of our small- to medium-sized customers to protect their PCs and virtual desktops.
