Configure an option so that when a server has 0 users it will restart if there is a pending gold image update available?

02/25/2025, 7:40 PMThanks @Matt Sliva @Danny @Ryan Gallier! Yes, it was one of my first contributions to the interwebs in 2010 when I built the script for XenApp 5 on Server 2008 (R1 / 32-bit!!!). Wild times. In the years following I was smacked with a lawsuit from a loser of a small software company that tried to claim intellectual property over such a simple concept. Sorry, but NO! 😄
The script hasn't seen much in terms of updates since 2018 as I've been focused on other projects/efforts (namely building and growing a consulting business). That's when it was updated to support Citrix Cloud, and in past opportunities when I've been able to lab and test it, it still works. But of course it's subject to APIs changing, so you may find it doesn't work as expected, needs modifications. I always recommend trying it in an isolated environment / sandbox so you don't bomb your production environment and come blaming me...
The download automation breaks from time to time, so I'll DM the ShareFile link to you directly. If anyone else wants the link, they can just ping me and I'll get it to them.
Cheers! -youngtech

02/26/2025, 1:50 AMDanny, this is a missing feature of the VDA itself I've been asking Citrix for over many years. I've written a Windows Service that does the job, but it's not ready to be made public yet. Dane's script works perfectly.

03/17/2025, 1:38 PMfinally go around to testing it over patch tuesday and unfortunately did not seem to work. I could not install the citrix SDK on the cloud connector server so i tried it on another machine. Things all appear to work properly, checked if the API i created for this task is being used and it is. I'm assuming it's something silly I'm missing
