Non-persistent Pooled System Installation

Install, reinstall, upgrade, and uninstall on the golden image for the non-persistent desktop.

Non-persistent desktops contain one or more desktops automatically created and customized by virtual machine templates.  Users are allocated any desktop currently available in the pool, which may differ between sessions.  This desktop is assigned dynamically each time the user connects.

Advanced installation steps are only necessary for use of the SysTrack agent under certain circumstances, generally non-persistent pooled image-based deployments.

For non-persistent systems without associated persistent storage devices, specify a file share location for storage of the SysTrack agent database files.  This network file share location requires that the local computer account for each system will have read/write access for the agent to create and maintain its database on each endpoint.

IMPORTANT: Microsoft Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 (or higher) users may be required to run the files logged on and run with Run as administrator.

See the following suggestions:

  • Install prerequisites before installing the SysTrack edition.

  • Use Systems Management Agent_x32.msi.

  • Default values are used if you do not manually set them.

  • Add REBOOT=R to suppress automatic and certain prompts for system restarts.

  • Add INSTALLDIR if the install path is not the default install path.

Default Install Path 32-bit Operating System

<[ProgramFilesFolder]\SysTrack\LsiAgent> or C:\Program Files\SysTrack\LsiAgent

Default Install Path 64-bit Operating System

<[ProgramFilesFolder]\SysTrack\LsiAgent> or C:\Program Files (x86)\SysTrack\LsiAgent

NOTE: Add double quotes around the path assigned to INSTALLDIR.

Config Name

Add CONFIGNAME="<EnterConfigurationName>" to assign a named configuration or the default value is used.

Run on Parent

Add RUNONPARENT=<EnterValue>

  • RUNONPARENT=0 (default) the agent will exit on the parent image.

  • RUNONPARENT=1 the agent will run on the parent image.

POOL DB

Add POOLDB=”<enter path>” to the persistent storage location where the database will be stored.

Do not include a file name to the POOLDB property.

Add %SYSTEMNAME% (all caps) to prevent duplication of data across cloned/copied systems.

For example:

POOLDB=”K:\SysTrack\Database\%SYSTEMNAME%\”

K: is an example drive letter only.

POOLNAME and POOLDB are exclusive.

IMPORTANT: After a successful “Pooled System” installation on the Golden Image, delete the “Settings” registry key on virtual systems before cloning.

(32-bit OS)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lakeside Software\LsiAgent\Settings

(64-bit OS)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lakeside Software\LsiAgent\Settings

Pool DB Log Folder

Add POOLDB_LOGFOLDER=”<enter path>” to store log files. (optional)

  • Do not include a file name to the property.

  • The folder path must already exist.

Example folder paths:

POOLDB_LOGFOLDER=”D:\SysTrack\Log\”

POOLDB_LOGFOLDER=”D:\PooledDB\%SYSTEMNAME%\Log\”

Pool DB Write Folder

Add POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER=”<enter path>” to store write files. (optional)

  • Do not include a file name to the property.

  • The folder path must already exist.

Example folder paths:

POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER=”D:\SysTrack\Write\”

POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER=”D:\PooledDB\%SYSTEMNAME%\Write\”

  • Required to place double quotes around values assigned to INSTALLDIR, CONFIGNAME, POOLDB, POOLDB_LOGFOLDER and POOLDB_WRITEFOLDER.

Proxy Connection Hub

Add PROXYCONNECTIONHUB ="<EnterProxyConnectionHubSystemName>" to assign the name of the ProxyConnectionHub system (if applicable), otherwise the default value is used.

PROXYCONNECTIONHUB=<servername>.<domain>.org

Auto Detect Proxy

Add AUTODETECTPROXY ="<EnterUseAutoDetectValue>" to assign the preferred proxy setting for autodetect or the default value 0 is used.  Assign 1 if true or 0.

AUTODETECTPROXY=(1 if true, 0 false)

Auto Config Script

Add AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT ="<EnterAddressOfAPacFile>" to assign the preferred proxy setting for the address of a .pac file to get proxy information.

AUTOCONFIGSCRIPT=http://<server>.<domain>.org/test.pac
