Configure the Workspace Composer as a Citrix XenApp Published Application

Configuration

To let the Workspace Control Desktop start on a Terminal Server:

• In the Citrix Console, publish a Citrix server desktop.
  • Depending on your Citrix XenApp edition, it may differ how a Citrix server desktop is published. For more information, refer to your Citrix documentation.
• In Microsoft Active Directory, configure a GPO:
  • Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > "Custom User Interface".
  • Enter the correct path to pfwsmgr.exe. This starts Workspace Control when a user launches a Citrix Desktop.
  • Create the GPO:
    • Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > "Custom user interface".
    • Enter the correct path %RESPFDIR%\pfwsmgr.exe.
  • Enable loopback processing on this GPO:
    • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy > "User Group Policy loopback processing mode".
    • Enable this setting in Replace mode.
  • Configure security for the GPO:
    • On the Security tab of the GPO properties (Delegation > Advanced), add the group containing all users for whom you want a Managed Desktop.
    • You can remove (or deny) the "apply-rights" for your administrative accounts.
  • Link the GPO:
    • Link the GPO to the OU where your Citrix Servers exist in the Microsoft Active Directory.
