Before you begin
Install the Avaya Paired Sign-On extension from the Chrome Web Store. Also, install the native component of the Avaya Paired Sign-On extension from the Avaya Workplace Client for Windows build, which you downloaded from https://support.avaya.com/downloads/. You can then Pin the Chrome extension to your browser toolbar.

If Avaya Workplace Client on a remote computer runs as a controlling client and Avaya Workplace Client on a local computer runs as a controlled client, you do not need to install the native component with the Avaya Paired Sign-On extension in your deployment.
  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Go to the location of the .msi file for Avaya Workplace Client for Windows.

      msiexec /i "Avaya Workplace Setup.msi" VDIENV=1
    • As a controlled client, use the following command:
      msiexec /i "Avaya Workplace Setup.msi" VDICONTROLLEDEP=1
  4. Start Avaya Workplace Client.
    STEP RESULT:
