Before you begin installing the agent, make sure that you have the required virtual computing resources that the hypervisor must provide for each agent.

    Note

    Make sure that you configure your DNS to allow Internet access to your Citrix ADM agent.

  3. If there is no prompt to enter the Service URL, navigate to /mps in the Citrix ADM agent and then run the following script: ``` ./deployment_type.py

  4. Enter the Service URL and the Activation Code that you saved when you had downloaded the agent image. The agent uses the Service URL to locate the service and the activation code to register with the service.

After the agent has restarted, access the Citrix ADM GUI and on the Set Up Agent page, under Discovered Agents, verify the status of the agent.
