# Technical Reference & Deep Dives

This section doesn't repeat what's covered elsewhere — it points you to the guides and knowledge base articles that already own this material in depth.

### Core documentation

* [Parallels Desktop Enterprise Administrator's Guide](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/) — full reference for Management Portal settings, Golden Images, Policies, and sublicense management.
* [Parallels Desktop Developer's Guide: Command-Line Interface Utility](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/parallels-desktop-developers-guide/command-line-interface-utility) — complete `prlctl` and `prlsrvctl` syntax, including VM startup options like headless mode.

### Migration & upgrade guides

* [Migrating from Business Edition to Enterprise Edition](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/upgrading-from-business-edition/migrating-from-business-edition-to-enterprise-edition) — covers both per-device and per-user (SSO) Business Edition setups, and what happens to existing password restrictions and configuration profiles during the move.
* [\[Deprecated\] Using Configuration Profiles](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-licensing-guide/managing-subscriptions-licences-and-seats/using-configuration-profiles) — if you're still running static configuration profiles, this explains what's deprecated and points you to the Management Portal's Golden Images and Policies as the replacement.

### Troubleshooting & knowledge base

* [Automating Windows VM Enrollment in Intune with Declarative Deployment](https://kb.parallels.com/en/131085) — troubleshooting for provisioning package and Intune enrollment issues.
* [Connectivity Requirements](https://kb.parallels.com/en/129612) — network ports and connectivity needed for Parallels Desktop, the Management Portal, and SSO.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-enterprise-quick-start-guide/technical-reference-and-deep-dives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
