Citrix LTSR
Posted by nichetcher@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 7 comments
We are required to use the long term release version, but many system in my org are auto updating to the newest non-LTSR version and it's causing a lot of issues with many people! I'm not sure if this is the right sub to post in for this, but I'm interested in some advice if anyone is in a similar situation. TiA!

See I guess I was wrong in thinking that CR and LTSR were two separate products, and one couldn't be updated to the other.
That said, it looks like you can push a GPO to stop this behavior. (src: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-windows/updates )
Though you can't downgrade newer versions of CR to older versions of LTSR so you'll need to push the settings via GPO, uninstall CR, install the desired LTSR.

Thanks, yeah, it hasn’t been good. Printing, scanning, and DMO not functioning after it “updates” to non-LTSR..

I hear you, one of my guys just got done rolling about 1500+ PCs Up/down to LTSR and support tickets dropped linearly as more and more PCs made their way onto the desired release.

So can you/he roll out the GPO to uninstall or will that need to be manual?

He wrote a powershell script that removed all existing version of Receiver/Workspace and then did a clean install of LTSR. The script would only run if the ica exe wasn't running (indicating the user was not in a active session).
We used Itune remediation scripts, but you could also do this with a GPO scheduled task.

1500?! Okay, I feel less overwhelmed 😅

Stuff like this is why I keep pushing our org to move to igel.
