Deploy Citrix Workspace via Intune | Win32 Guide

Prerequisites

• A Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, DaaS, or Citrix Cloud subscription
• Your StoreFront store URL (e.g. https://citrix.yourdomain.com/Citrix/Store/discovery) or Citrix Cloud gateway URL
• Admin access to download the enterprise installer from citrix.com

Download the enterprise installer

Download the full Citrix Workspace installer from the Citrix downloads page:

https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/windows/

Select the latest Current Release or Long Term Service Release (LTSR) depending on your environment. Download the Citrix Workspace app for Windows EXE - the filename will be CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe or CitrixWorkspaceApp_.exe.

Wrap with the Content Prep Tool

IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c "C:\AppSource\CitrixWorkspace" -s "CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe" -o "C:\IntunePackages"

Add the app in Intune

1. Upload the .intunewin file
2. Name: Citrix Workspace
3. Publisher: Citrix Systems, Inc.
4. App version: match the installer version

Install and uninstall commands

Detection rule

Citrix Workspace installs as a 32-bit application to Program Files (x86):

To detect a specific version, use a registry detection rule instead:

Pre-configuring the Citrix Store

The cleanest way to add the store URL automatically is via a registry key deployed as a post-install PowerShell script in Intune:

# Add Citrix StoreFront store automatically on install
$storeUrl = "https://citrix.yourdomain.com/Citrix/Store/discovery"
$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle"

New-Item -Path $regPath -Force | Out-Null
Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Sites" -Value $storeUrl -Type String

# For Citrix Cloud / Workspace Cloud
# $storeUrl = "https://yourtenant.cloud.com/Citrix/Store/discovery"

Alternatively, add the store URL directly in the install command using the /STORE_URL switch:

CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe /silent /noreboot /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /STORE_URL="https://citrix.yourdomain.com/Citrix/Store/discovery"

Managing Citrix Workspace updates

With /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled set at install time, Citrix will not auto-update. To update Workspace, package the new version and use Intune supersedence to replace the old one. This gives you full control over which version is deployed across your estate.

If you want to allow auto-updates for some users (for example, power users on a faster update cadence), set /AutoUpdateCheck=auto instead and manage the update channel via the Citrix ADM policy.

Known gotchas

Citrix Workspace requiring a reboot

Citrix Workspace sometimes returns exit code 3010 (reboot required) after install. Change the device restart behaviour in Intune to Determine behaviour based on return codes and add 3010 as a soft reboot return code. This will prompt users to reboot rather than forcing one silently.

x86 install path tripping up detection rules

The most common detection rule mistake is pointing to C:\Program Files\Citrix instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix. Citrix Workspace is 32-bit and always installs to the x86 path, even on 64-bit Windows. The detection rule will fail if you use the wrong path.

Citrix Workspace conflicting with the legacy Citrix Receiver

If devices have the old Citrix Receiver installed, Workspace should automatically migrate it - but in some cases both can coexist and cause issues. Deploy a pre-script to uninstall Receiver before installing Workspace if you have legacy devices in scope.
