Citrix Receiver 4.2 Startmenu integration

After a long time of waiting Citrix released Receiver 4.2. This release brings back functionality to easily integrate Published Applications into the Startmenu known from the Receiver Enterprise. There are two ways available to configure the new Options.

1. Parameters during the installation and Registry entries
2. Group Policy with imported ADM files

With both you can disable the SelfServiceStore, configure where and how Startmenu / Desktop Icons are created and if they are removed at logoff / exit.

To disable the SelfServiceStore you must start the installation with the parameter /SELFSERVICEMODE=False .

Otherwise the user needs to manually configure the Store and SingleSignOn wouldn’t work.
