Preparing a Windows Image with the Remedio Sensor Installed

Preparing a Windows Image with the Remedio Sensor Installed

Purpose

This article explains how to prepare a Windows image that already has the Remedio sensor installed. Following these steps prevents duplicate identities and sensor conflicts when new VMs are created from the image.

Applies To

  • Remedio Sensor v2, for example 2.41.10

  • Remedio Sensor v3, for example 3.1.29

Pre-Imaging Steps

For Remedio Sensor v2.x.y

  1. Open Registry Editor.

  2. Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\gytpol\gytpolClient

  3. Delete the following registry values:

    • AgentUUID

    • EndpointUUID

For Remedio Sensor v3.x.y

  1. Navigate to:
    C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\gytpol

  2. Delete the file:

    • sensor.db

For All Sensor Versions

  1. Open Task Scheduler.

  2. Disable the GYTPOL scheduled tasks before sealing the image.

    • For v2 sensors, disable all GYTPOL-related tasks under the gytpol folder in Task Scheduler.

      For v3 sensors, disable the GYTPOL Hourly task in the main Task Scheduler library.

  3. Seal or capture the image as normal.

Post-Imaging Steps

After deploying a new VM from the image:

  1. Boot the VM.

  2. Set the new hostname.

  3. Re-enable the previously disabled GYTPOL scheduled task(s).

  4. Allow the sensor to check in and generate a new unique identity.

  • Skipping these steps may result in multiple endpoints reporting with the same identity.

  • Always complete the hostname change before re-enabling the scheduled task.
