Question

Forticlient and signatures download (VDI)

Hi all, I' ve to install FortiClient on a VDI infrastracture (not persistent VDI). The problem is that every day I re-create the VDI, at the first login the Forticlient starts with the download of the definitions and for some time the VDI becomes unasable. Is there a way to install a package that includes the signatures inside it? I need to avoid that every day every single Forticlient downloads those definitions. PS I cannot use a Fortimanager to speedup the download process because my clients are geographically distributed (multiple VDI environments).

    Does this mean re-install the VDI? Or restore it to the state it was the previous day? In the former case, FortiClient re-downloads all signatures. In the latter, FortiClient signatures are only one day behind. Delta signature updates are used. If not the previous day, restoring to a recent snapshot that is a few days old may be better (when considering FortiClient signature updates) than re-installing afresh. How long does the signature download take on average? What is your AV engine version?
