DEM Endpoint Domain

Hey Guys,

Just trying to bounce some ideas here. How would you go by retrieving the Endpoint Domain to utilize it as a condition. I tried using the environment variables set by the Horizon View Client but so far it's returning false.

Condition is a "Registry Value" where HKCU\Volatile Environment\1\ViewClient_Machine_FQDN" is equal to "domain FQDN" but looking at the DEM logs it is returning false. Maybe it's a timing issue.

Hi @cbaptiste,

Horizon agent sets those ViewClient_ env vars (and corresponding registry values) a few seconds after the shell has started, which is too late for DEM's path-based import.

The Horizon Client Property condition should do the trick, though:

That did the trick. I was wondering why DEM can determine the Broker_GatewayLocation on time but now I understand it better. Thanks mate.
