Citrix Workspace Silent Install



My first blog posting I want to start with a great piece of software called “Citrix Desktop Lock”. Im sure one or two heard about the plugin. What is Citrix Desktop Lock? Citrix Desktop Lock will convert your Windows FatClient/ThinClient into a Kiosk Appliance. After the user has entered his domain credentials he won’t see anything from the installed Windows OS and will automatically launch his assigned Published Desktop. When you login with a local admin account you will regain full control of the OS. Sounds lovely? It is 🙂

How is it done?

We had a lot of problems getting Citrix Receiver to install correctly in our task sequence. During imaging it would hang until you moved the mouse or it timed out. Apparently this is a semi-common problem due to how Citrix Receiver installs USB support. HKEYCURRENTUSERSoftwareCitrixSplashscreen SplashscreenShown=1. This value is a string or REGSZ value. I have tested this procedure on Windows 10 v1809, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 with Citrix Workspace App 1812. Try it out and silence that Citrix Workspace App!

Step 1 – Preparation

Before you are going to install the Citrix Desktop Lock on a workstation you first need to install Citrix Receiver with the Single-Sign-On Parameter.

CitrixReceiver.exe /includeSSON

In addition you need a configured StoreFront account on the machine, otherwise the installation of Desktop Lock will fail. Im doing this with Microsoft Group Policy.

Alternative:

CitrixReceiver.exe /includeSSON
STORE0=”DesktopStore;https://my.storefront.server/Citrix/MyStore/discovery;on;Desktop Store”

To make the autolaunch of the Published Desktop possible you need to configure Pass-Trough Authentication. Check CTX133982

Step 2 – Installation

Download the current release of Citrix Desktop Lock.

Silent

msiexec /i CitrixReceiverDesktopLock.msi /qn

Important: You always need the proper Citrix Receiver/Desktop Lock Version

Step 3 – Test

Logon with a domain user and it should auto launch your published desktop.

Important – Good to Know

After you lock (Windows + L) the workstation the Published Desktop always will receive a logoff command.

Result: The user wants to unlock his computer and it took at least 15 seconds to access the desktop again (logon process). You can remain the ICA Session with setting a registry key on the client. It depends on your needs 😎
