Adding a Registered Device Tenant

A tenant of the registered device type is a logical entity that refers to a workstation that is already set up in customer environments.

A registered device does not have to be provisioned, but requires additional configuration:

  • Sites to define the "type" of compute resources, and
  • Pools to control aspects such as VM creation and user—machine assignment rules.

Adding a registered device is a two-step process:

  1. Register the device using the installation command to add it to Anyware Manager Enterprise, and

  2. Entitle a user to access the registered device. Entitlement can be Automatic or Manual.

Before you Begin

Make sure that you have the following details handy:

  • License registration code emailed from us in the form of ABCDEF1234@AB12-C345-D67E-89FG

    Info

    The registration code is not required if you purchased Anyware Manager Enterprise licenses via Azure Marketplace.

  • Entra ID details

  • The company PIN that is used to integrate Anyware Manager Enterprise with HP Workforce Experience. This PIN is created from the HP Workforce Experience dashboard, and is required only if you want to map this tenant to your organization's HP Workforce Experience instance.

Info

After you create a new tenant, you can select any type of site and pool within this tenant, regardless of the type of tenant you chose during the initial onboarding.

Procedure

Info

The following restrictions apply to the user accounts performing this operation:

  • Organization Admins can add a registered device pool to all tenants.
  • Global Tenant Admins and Tenant Admins can add a registered device pool to tenants assigned to them.

  1. On the dashboard, click Tenants.

  2. Click + Add Tenant.

  3. On the Add Tenant page, click Start under Registered devices.

  4. Provide the tenant details, and click Next.

    • On the Add tenant form under Tenant details, provide the Tenant name, Preferred geography, and Preferred region.

      Info

      The Preferred geography, and Preferred region options determine where the configuration information for your Anyware Manager Enterprise instance is located.

    • Optionally, provide the license registration code and the HP Workforce Experience Company PIN. The HP Workforce Experience Company PIN integrates the tenant with the HP Workforce Experience platform. Once enrolled, you can view your telemetry data for this tenant.

  5. Under Connect to identity provider, enter the Entra tenant ID, and click Link to connect to the Entra ID tenant.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Add a pool to this tenant:

    1. Under Add pool, enter the Pool name.

    2. Select an User assignment policy:

      • Select Persistent - Manual if you want users to be assigned to a machine when they attempt to connect to the pool.
      • Select Persistent - Automated if you want users to connect to a machine in the pool that has been assigned to them by an administrator.

    3. Under Agent type, select Anyware standard agents or Anyware graphics agents, to match your workload needs.

    4. Copy the enrolment commands that are generated to a text file, and keep this file handy.

  8. Click Create.

Once the tenant is set up, it will be listed on the Tenants page.

Registering the Workstation

The enrolment commands generated at the time of associating a pool is used to deploy Anyware Agents on the workstations that belong to the pool. Once Anyware agents are installed on the workstations, the workstations are considered to be "registered" devices. Anyware Manager Enterprise can then control remote access and user assignment for these workstations.

  1. From the Tenants page, find the tenant you created, and click it.

  2. Log on to the workstation that you want to register with Anyware Manager Enterprise.

  3. Open the text file containing the enrolment commands that you created in step 6 (v).

    Info

    Enrolment commands can be generated by navigating to the registered devices pool, and clicking Generate command under Enrolment commands of the pool details page.

  4. Run these commands on the workstation to install the Anyware agent.

Once installed, the workstation will appear under Machines on the pool detail page.
