This article covers how to install Remote DX onto IGEL OS devices.
Remote DX supports devices running IGEL OS 11 and OS 12 connecting to Citrix and VMware virtual environments.
Install Remote DX
Select your IGEL OS version below:
Install the IGEL Ready Certified Remote DX application on IGEL OS 12 devices through IGEL UMS.
Configure the application in IGEL UMS
- Open the IGEL App Portal and import ControlUp Remote DX.
- In IGEL UMS, add the ControlUp Remote DX application to a profile used for device deployment. Visit the IGEL documentation to learn more about this step.
