Which command argument should be included when installing Falcon for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?

When installing Falcon for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), specifying the argument VDI=1 is essential. This command indicates that the installation is tailored for a VDI environment, allowing the Falcon sensor to properly configure itself for the unique characteristics and requirements associated with virtual desktop infrastructures.

In a VDI setup, the operating conditions differ from that of traditional endpoint installations, mainly because VDI environments often host multiple user sessions on a single physical machine. Setting the installation argument to VDI=1 ensures that the sensor operates correctly in this environment, optimizing performance and resource utilization while ensuring effective security monitoring.

This choice aligns with best practices for deploying Falcon in environments designed for virtual desktops, ensuring comprehensive protection without compromising system performance or user experience.
