Therefore, after research and a trial period, I deployed the agentless solution and I thought I’d document the process and quirks\issues I found along the way, in case a future engagement involves this or a similar agentless solution. You can also manage the solution from the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software. The benefits are clear, with increased virtual desktop performance and anti-virus updates and scanning storms, a thing of the past. This dramatically reduces the load on the host in terms of memory and CPU, and also the Windows virtual desktop, as there’s no requirement for the agent to be installed in Windows.

With the agentless solution, a virtual security appliance is run on each host, and performs all the scanning, plus definition and policy updates. However they own the license for the agentless solution, and thought this would a suitable time to investigate this, to optimize the environment and provide the best performance, whilst continuing to protect their virtual desktops. The customer previously used a standard McAfee agent solution, with the agent installed in every Windows virtual desktop. Over the last two months, I’ve been working on a VDI refresh engagement, involving technologies such as VMware Horizon View 5.2, vCNS (vShield) and McAfee Move, agentless solution.
