Is the software compatible with large Citrix VAD environments, MCS provisioned Windows Servers, 1 Image (Frontend Servers)? For example 9000 concurrent users and 9000 Java processes?
How do you use environment variables in the config files? agent.properties of the java agent, analytics-agent.properties of the analytics agent ?
Setting environment variables as APPDYNAMICS_AGENT_UNIQUE_HOST_ID via GPO is not possible since the hostname is changing for each machine. Machines can be dynamically removed and new ones added. If I add the COMPUTERNAME systemvariable to the APPDYNAMICS_AGENT_UNIQUE_HOST_ID the service won't be able to see it after reboot, because it is not visible to the process, due to windows changing the variable while the service is running. It can be a timing issue. Restarting the service is no usefull workaround.
I need the configs to use environment variables. No configuration is done per Server. All needs to be done globally.
Setting APPDYNAMICS_AGENT_NODE_NAME, APPDYNAMICS_AGENT_UNIQUE_HOST_ID, ad.agent.name needs to be dynamic
Setting APPDYNAMICS_AGENT_BASE_DIR, ad.dw.log.path for log paths needs to be dynamic
Setting those globally but with dynamic values
Using scripts to modify startups is no usefull way. Javawebstart is used for the application, so JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS is set, since this is the only working way to start the java agent with JNLP.

Note: javaws doens't know the -J-javaagent parameter (tested with Oracle Java and OpenWebstart)
