Been toying around with Citrix Workspace App Auto Update, and been noticing something weird. I set everything up with the ADMX and the user can initiate updates from right clicking on CWA in tray --> check for updates. Works just fine. I set deferred count to 3 - and was under the impression that CWA would force update (silently?) if the user deferred 3 times. That seems not to be the case. Unless... I create the following registry value: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\ICA Client\AutoUpdate] "Banned"="" I can see it being referenced here: https://admx.help/?Category=CitrixWorkspace&Policy=receiver.Policies.receiver::Policy_EnableAutoUpdatePolicy But can not find much info on it. I assume it is being used when you want to block auto update for certain versions of CWA. Anyway - this is the log without Banned: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Logs\CitrixAutoUpdate.log" 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateState (408) : Checking the GPO Policy. 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateStateImpl (989) : Getting the AutoUpdate State 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateStateImpl (1030) : Banned setting was not found 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateStateImpl (1041) : Setting state as AUTO_ENABLED 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateStateImpl (1126) : Cannot populate the policy information 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : GetAutoUpdateState (540) : Checking for Deffer Count Update setting 2023/4/14 132157 : Information : UpdaterConfiguration::IntailizeUpdaterCo2023/4/14 132159 : Information : CTextLogger::InitLogger (77) : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Logs\UpdaterService.log" 2023-04-14 132231,208 [5] INFO UpdaterService.InstallHandlers.PeriodicUpdateCheck - Auto Update Setting state is AUTO_ENABLED, so skipping checking for updates 2023-04-14 132231,208 [5] INFO UpdaterService.Helpers.UpdateValidator - Getting the AutoUpdate Channel Info 2023-04-14 132231,251 [5] INFO UpdaterService.InstallHandlers.PeriodicUpdateCheck - Timer for periodic check for updates started successfully with interval (in milli seconds): 86400000. for Channel : Prod With Banned everything works as it should. I installed an old version of CWA and it updated silently without user involvement. Am I being an idiot here, or is this a bug? Slack Conversation
