I want to know about how TS_ENABLED=1 and VDI_ENABLED=1 command works during installation.

And how Temporary sessions are managed by Cortex XDR Agent.

Hi @P.Ghule,

Please reference the Install the Cortex XDR Agent for Windows • Cortex XDR Agent Administrator Guide

TS_ENABLED=1—Use to install the Cortex XDR agent on the golden image for a temporary session. This option identifies the session as a temporary session in Cortex XDR and to apply license and endpoint management policy specific for temporary sessions. To set up the Cortex XDR agent on a golden image for temporary sessions, see Cortex XDR Agent for Virtual Environments and Desktops.
VDI_ENABLED=1—Use to install the Cortex XDR agent on the golden image for a non-persistent VDI. This option identifies the session as a VDI in Cortex XDR and applies license and endpoint management policy specific for non-persistent VDI. To set up the Cortex XDR agent on a golden image for non-persistent VDI, see Cortex XDR Agent for Virtual Environments and Desktops

The main focus here is how the license allocations are managed for different installation type and architecture that is been explained in the attached documentation in detail.

Also, if a Cortex XDR agent is running alongside Microsoft Defender on endpoints running Windows Server editions, we recommend setting Defender to Passive mode. Cortex XDR and Traps Compatibility with Third-Party Security Products • Cortex XDR Compatibility Mat...

Hi @nar ,

Thanks for the explanation, I got cleared with my doubts about how this script works.

You mentioned -- (The main focus here is how the license allocations are managed for different installation type and architecture that is been explained in the attached documentation in detail.) -- Please share the documentation link.
