Citrix Virtual Workspace



  1. What Is Citrix Workspace
  2. Citrix Virtual Workspace Mac

The Virtual Desktop will now open inside the Citrix Workspace Client. To sign out of the virtual desktop, right-click on the Start Button and hover over Shutdown or Sign Out and click Sign out. Note: Due to the high demand for virtual desktops, please log out of your virtual desktop session when you are finished completing your tasks. We have an environment with Windows Server 2016 and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.15 LTSR. We have around 25 personal accounts, which are working fine. We have also 5 generic accounts, which are connection over a Citrix Gateway. For the personal accounts we want to have the Feature Workspace Control configured.

    Problem Cause

    Hotkey combination not configured to passthrough from the client workstation to the active Citrix session window.

    By default, when you use a virtual desktop all key presses are directed to it (not the local computer) with the following exceptions:

    • Windows logo key+L is directed to the local computer.
    • CTRL+ALT+DELETE is directed to the local computer except in some cases if you use the Citrix Desktop Lock.
    • Key presses that activate StickyKeys, FilterKeys, and ToggleKeys (Microsoft accessibility features) are normally directed to the local computer.
    • As an accessibility feature of the Desktop Viewer, pressing CTRL+ALT+BREAK displays the Desktop Viewer toolbar buttons in a pop-up window.
    • Windows key combinations (for example, CTRL+ESC and ALT+TAB) are directed according to the settings that your help desk has selected.

    Note: By default, if the Desktop Viewer is maximized, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows inside the session. If the Desktop Viewer is displayed in a window, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows outside the session.
    Hotkey sequences are key combinations designed by Citrix. For example, the CTRL+F1 sequence reproduces CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and SHIFT+F2 switches applications between full-screen and windowed mode. You can use hotkey sequences with virtual desktops in many, but not all, setups. For example, they work with your hosted applications.

    Hi guys

    we have an environment with Windows Server 2016 and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.15 LTSR. We have around 25 personal accounts, which are working fine. We have also 5 generic accounts, which are connection over a Citrix Gateway.

    Citrix Virtual Workspace Mac

    For the personal accounts we want to have the Feature Workspace Control configured. For the generic users we want to be able to disable it and have it configured that if someone is logged in, another user receives a message, that there is already a session and he or she can't login because of that.

    We tested a couple of things and configured a seperate store in Storefront. To be able to use that store via Netscaler we configured a second Virtual Server with the same url, same cert, but different port (8443 instead of 443). The LDAP policy is restricted to a specific AD security group.

    Everything is working like that, but we are not able to have the Workspace Control disabled in the second Store. Does anybody have any expirience with it?

    Many thanks for your help.

    Best regards,

    Marc
