AV on VDA

[Michael Foster]

Is there a way to stop the anti-virus agent that is installed on the VDA from running for each users published application session?

[Jeff Riechers]

It depends on the AV agent.  Most agents execute in each user space to monitor that particular user's session.

If you are using Windows Defender you can offload the definitions to make it lighter per user.  https://www.jeffriechers.com/wiki/vdi-defender-offloading/

In this case it is SentinelOne.

I'm sorry.  S1 can be a bit of a headache in Citrix environments.  You need to ensure all the necessary Citrix exclusions are in place to keep the overhead from S1 from impacting your sessions.
