Hi Carl.
Thanks for this awesome work!
Just finding all the ADMX/ADML files wasn’t easy.
I also didn’t use workspace management environment, but workspace app admx/adml available on the workspace app download page.
Cheers!

A million thanks to Carl and team!! This is very very useful for me and probably other Citrix techs all around the world.

I was just thinking to manually enable all Citrix policy settings> backup the GPO and import the GPO backup to MS Security Compliance manager, then export it to Excel.
That will probably take hours and will not even be as comprehensive as yours.

All kudos to Carl for putting together all the policy settings.
As Esther already mentioned it was fun to play hide & seek with the registry settings.
Thx that I had the opportunity to contribute to this file (at least for a small part).

I’m sure setting the User – Printer Assignments policy in Studio resulted in changes for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\\User\PrintingPolicies\DefaultClientPrinter Value in the registry of my Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.

So we might need to plan another weekend to test drive different OS versions and this policy setting, Carl 😉

I just want to thank you for including me in this project as I sure had fun tracking down the different registry keys for all the policy settings you threw my way. Very proud of how you transformed all those keys in this very cool Excel reference document. Lots of kudos for you Carl!

Carl. This is gold dust! Many thanks to you and your mini team for collating this. I hope that Citrix action the discrepancies you highlight.

I know what you mean with regards to GPO descriptions and this is a general gripe not just for the Citrix flavour ones. It’s the double negative ones that confuse the heck out of me. Description is something like “Disable this widget” with options of Enable/Disable. So to disable it you have to select enable!!

Anyhow. Great work. Thanks again.
