Upgrade App Volumes Agent Silently

You can also upgrade the App Volumes agent silently using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI).

You perform a silent upgrade using the command line and you do not need to use the Omnissa App Volumes installer.

For App Volumes agent to validate the App Volumes Manager certificate, you can use the EnforceSSLCertificateValidation parameter.

EnforceSSLCertificateValidation has two values: 0 and 1. By default, the value of this parameter is 1.

• 1 - Certificate validation is activated
• 0 - Certificate validation is deactivated
