The VDA registration process involves two major components: Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) and Desktop Delivery Controller (DDC). These two components interact with each other for a successful VDA registration.
VDA is a collection of drivers and services that are loaded on to the desktop or host machine where you want to establish a connection. The VDA agent contacts one of the Delivery Controllers as per the configured DDC server-list and registers itself to be available to users, based upon the desktop groups/catalogs configured in the SQL data store. The list of DDC servers can be configured in the following ways:
- While installing the VDA agent on host machines
- Using Windows registry discovery
- Through Active Directory GPO
- Through Citrix policies
DDC is a component that enables you to deliver virtual desktops to endusers. It allows you to effectively manage, maintain, and provision all virtual desktop connections with a single management console...
