1. Group Policy Object (GPO) administrative template
2. Command-line interface
3. GUI
4. StoreFront

Configure Citrix Workspace Updates using the Group Policy Object administrative template

1. Open the Citrix Workspace app Group Policy Object administrative template by running gpedit.msc and navigate to the Computer Configuration node.

2. Go to Administrative Templates > Citrix Components > Citrix Workspace > Workspace Updates.

   

3. Enable or disable updates – Select Enabled or Disabled to enable or disable Workspace Updates.

   Note:

   When you select Disabled, you aren’t notified of new updates. Disabled option also hides the Workspace Updates option from the Advanced Preferences sheet.

4. Update notification – When an update is available, you can choose to be automatically notified or check for them manually. After you have enabled Workspace updates, select one of the following options from the Enable Citrix Workspace Update Policy drop-down list:
   • Auto - You’re notified when an update is available (default).
   • Manual - You aren’t notified when an update is available. Check for updates manually.
5. Select LTSR ONLY to get updates for LTSR only.

6. From the Citrix-Workspace-Update-DeferUpdate-Count drop-down list, select a value between -1 and 30:

   • If the value is 0 then the Remind Me Later option appears. Update available prompt is shown on every periodic automatic check for update.
   • If the value is -1 then the Remind Me Later option appears with the Update available prompt. You can defer the update notification any number of times.
   • A value between 1-30 defines the number of times the Remind Me Later option with the Update available prompt must appear. You can defer the update notification based on the value defined in this field. However, the Update available prompt continues to appear but without the Remind Me Later option.

Configure the delay in checking for updates

When a new version of the Workspace app is available, Citrix rolls out the update during a specific delivery period. With this property, you can control at what stage during the delivery period you can receive the update.

Select Enabled, and from the Delay Group drop-down list, select one of the following:

• Fast – Update rollout happens at the beginning of the delivery period.
• Medium – Update rollout happens at the mid-delivery period.
