Windows, Linux, Mac desktops ... you can just use the Splunk Universal Forwarder (UF).

Universal Forwarder Documentation

For ease of desktop management, you could bundle the UF and its config as part of the base Operating System image.

Or for a bit more flexibility, you could also configure the UF's centrally using Splunk Deployment Server or a third party tool like Puppet or Chef.
