Citrix Workspace Desktop Viewer



Workspace

Precursor: I work as Corporate IT, Citrix is not my bread and butter, and dont have full control of the storefront due to it being siloed.

requests can be made to the team that controls the main servers to do changes.

We are currently working on a new deployment of Citrix Workspace App 1911. To do this, we run a script below:

Citrix Receiver Plugin (Win32) Citrix URL-Redirection Helper Plugin Intel web components updater - Installs and updates the Intel web components Intel web components for Intel® Identity Protection Technology NPRuntime Script Plug-in Library for Java(TM) Deploy Next Generation Java Plug-in 11.25.2 for Mozilla browsers McAfee MSC FF plugin DLL.

This gets the Workspace Application up on Windows 10 laptops and desktops (living dangerously on 1909) and running with our Citrix Desktop without any input from the user, other than logging in.

  1. Hello and thank you for contacting the Service Desk. In this video we will show you how to use the Citrix remote desktop application on a multi monitor setup.
  2. The Citrix Desktop Viewer toolbar if officially supported with XenDesktop only, but also works with XenApp. The Desktop Viewer is enabled on the each Web Interface/Web Services site in WebInterface.conf by adding the line ShowDesktopViewer=On.

It also restricts the users from modifying accounts, which is great, because you cant trust users :D

We used a similar script to install/deploy Citrix Receiver before upgrading to Citrix Workspace App.

many users using a laptop or desktop have multiple monitors, and would like to use all available monitors with Citrix.

The caveat to installing the WorkSpaceApp and Receiver with the above script is that it does not allow the Desktop Viewer toolbar to be visible, even though it is clearly in the 'ADDLOCAL' variable to add it and what I have discovered through testing and forums, is that this toolbar is required for support of multiple monitors.

Citrix Workspace Desktop Viewer Black Screen

If I install the Workspace Application without using a script, and go through the normal process of setup, i get a completely different set up and the Desktop Viewer toolbar, but it also isn't locked down and users can modify accounts.

To show the differences between the installs, i have attached 2 files.

ScriptInstall is the Workspace App we are used to. when launching our added Desktop from there, everything is fine, but no Desktop Viewer toolbar.

ManualInstall, when we manually go through the steps on setting up the WorkSpace App on a desktop/laptop, gets a different screen(the Citrix Storefront) but the Desktop Viewer will appear when launched this way.

I sent the same information to our Citrix team, but they have not been super helpful.

Is there a way to script either one of these outcomes? AS long as they both have the Desktop Viewer toolbar?
