    VDA 2206 Silent install fails

    in XenDesktop 7.x

    Posted

    After many hours I found a fix.

     

    Here's the command line arguments I was using for VDA 2203: 

    $appInstallParameters = '/components vda /disableexperiencemetrics /enable_hdx_ports /enable_hdx_udp_ports /enable_real_time_transport /enable_remote_assistance /enable_ss_ports /exclude "Citrix Personalization for App-V - VDA","Citrix Supportability Tools","Citrix WEM Agent","Citrix VDA Upgrade Agent" /includeadditional "Machine Identity Service","Citrix Profile Management","Citrix Profile Management WMI Plug-in","Citrix MCS IODriver","Citrix Rendezvous V2" /mastermcsimage /noreboot /noresume /quiet /remove_appdisk_ack /remove_pvd_ack'

     

    Here's what I'm using for VDA 2206: 

    $appInstallParameters = '/components vda /disableexperiencemetrics /enable_hdx_ports /enable_hdx_udp_ports /enable_real_time_transport /enable_remote_assistance /enable_ss_ports /exclude "Citrix Personalization for App-V - VDA","Citrix Supportability Tools","Citrix WEM Agent","Citrix VDA Upgrade Agent" /includeadditional "Machine Identity Service","Citrix Profile Management","Citrix Profile Management WMI Plug-in","Citrix MCS IODriver","Citrix Rendezvous V2" /mastermcsimage /noreboot /noresume /quiet /remove_appdisk_ack /remove_pvd_ack'


    List of NON-DOCUMENTED deprecated flags:


    /exclude

    "Citrix Files for Windows"

    "Citrix Files for Outlook"

    "User Personalization layer"

     

    /includeadditional
    "Citrix Profile Management WMI Plugin" was renamed to "Citrix Profile Management WMI Plug-in"
    "Citrix Universal Print Client"  *Not sure how to install UPS client now ?
    "Citrix Telemetry Service" *Installs anyway

    @Citrix please update your documentation accordingly, this took me hours to figure out!

    Azure NVv4 instances how to enable hardware encoding

    in XenDesktop 7.x

    Posted

    Encoding is not available on AMD GPU for Citrix Multi session enabled machine, only single session VDA.
     

    Quote

    Access to a high-performance video encoder for NVIDIA GPUs and Intel Iris Pro graphics processors. A policy setting (enabled by default) controls this feature and allows the use of hardware encoding for H.264 encoding (where available). If such hardware is not available, the VDA fall backs to CPU-based encoding using the software video codec. For more information, see Graphics policy settings.

    Outlook 2016 randomly started prompting users for Password and MFA - FSLogix Containers

    It could be a couple of things.

    1. Ensure the following folders are included in your profile solution 

    AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewyv
AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneAuth
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SystemCertificates


    2. Run the following as a powershell logon script or WEM External task (logon)

    Fix Office 365 SSO
    https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/403721-office-365-pro-plus-shared-activation-password-screen-not-able-to-select/page/9

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/authentication/automatic-authentication-fails 

    If (-not (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin)) { Add-AppxPackage -Register "$env:windir\SystemApps\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\Appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown } Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin


    3. When using Chrome or Edge, if you have overridden the AuthNegotiateDelegateAllowlist policy settings in your environment, ensure that you add Azure AD's URL autologon.microsoftazuread-sso.com and aadg.windows.net.nsatc.net.

    Please report back if any of this fixed your issue, good luck.

    This is a known issue on Server 2019.

    Please read the following:

    Add the following PowerShell code to a user login script and it should fix your issue. 

    If (-not (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin)) { Add-AppxPackage -Register "$env:windir\SystemApps\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\Appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown } Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin

    FSLogix Logoff doesn't work

    in XenApp 7.x

    Here's the solution.
     

    LogonUI.exe - Sessions Disconnected - XenApp 7.x

     

    Add these 3 reg values
    image.thumb.png.38d4cd0c5bd4545ef2776323db444aa1.png
      

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Sysprocs
Value name: LogonUI.exe
Data type: REG_DWORD
Base: Hex
Value data: 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Sysprocs
Value name: csrss.exe
Data type: REG_DWORD
Base: Hex
Value data: 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Sysprocs
Value name: winlogon.exe
Data type: REG_DWORD

    I'm seing the same issue with these reg keys with Citrix Cloud and Azure Standard NV4as_v4 VM (AMD) with Citrix VDA 2103 on Win10 20H2. As soon as I delete the regs keys the issue is fixed.
     

    "EnableWPFHook" - SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook\AppIni_Dlls\Multiple Monitor Hook

    "EnableWPFHook" - SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\CtxHook\AppInit_Dlls\Multiple Monitor Hook

    "Open GL" - SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook\AppIni_Dlls\Graphics Helper

    "Open GL" - SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\CtxHook\AppInit_Dlls\Graphics Helper


    @Citrix, since these reg keys are recommended with GPU acceleration, can you please investigate what's going on?

    Session hung at logoff on Windows Server 2012 R2

    in XenApp 7.x

    Posted

    mswanso769,

     

    You are correct you should not add any processes with visible windows, just the hidden ones and the tray icons.

     

    Here's how I identify the processes that needs to be added.

     

    I open a seamless session and launch every apps that I have publish. Then I close all of them one by one and I take a look at the ones still running. At this point I kill the remaining one(s) until I figure which one triggers a logoff. Finally I edit the  LogOffCheckSysModules value and add the problematic processes. And then I test again to ensure the session close probably.

     

    Trial and error mostly.

     

    I would not add explorer.exe else published explorer will just close automatically after launch.

     

    Hope it helps.

    VDA 7.8 with the following process added to LogoffCheckSysModules works for me.

    AppSwitcher.exe,acrotray.exe,splwow64.exe,wisptis.exe,LyncMonitor2013.exe,SelfServicePlugin.exe,AuthManSvr.exe,concentr.exe,wfcrun32.exe,taskhost.exe,vmtoolsd.exe

     

    The list is actually longer but I removed our business specific apps.
