GPO and values for WorkSpaces Performance Monitor Agent

To deploy the WorkSPaces Performance Monitor Agent software to AWS WorkSpaces via Group Policy, follow these steps:

1. Open Group Policy Manager: Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) on the Organizational Unit (OU) containing your AWS WorkSpaces.

2. Edit the Policy:

   • Navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies.

3. Expand Software Settings:

   • Under Computer Configuration, expand Software Settings.

4. Add a New Package:

   • Right-click Software Installation, select New from the context menu, and then click on Package.

5. Specify the Path:

   • In the Open dialog, enter the full UNC path (e.g., \\server\share\software.msi) of the shared package you want to assign.

6. Open and Assign:

   • Click the Open button, then select Assigned and click OK. The package will be added to the right pane of the Group Policy window.

This will deploy the software to all WorkSpaces associated with the selected OU when the policy is applied, ensuring the software is installed on startup.
