Dealing with Citrix ADMX files can be confusing. But there is hope on the horizon. It looks like Citrix finally got it under control.

This article provides a resolution when the USB scanner, printer, or other USB devices do not show up in the ICA session. Beginning August 2018, Citrix Receiver will be replaced by Citrix Workspace app. While you can still download older versions of Citrix Receiver, new features and enhancements will be released for Citrix Workspace app. Citrix Workspace app is a new client from Citrix that works similar to Citrix Receiver and is fully backward-compatible with.

The implementation of Citrix ADMX files has been a bit chaotic so far. Remember this view? A tad bit messy I would say.

Your central ADMX repository contained the following five Citrix ADMX files:

• ctxprofile5.x.0.admx
• ica-file-signing.admx
• HdxFlash-Client.admx
• receiver.admx
• receiver_usb.admx

These files were clearly not in sync with one another.

The solution

It seems that Citrix also realized that the above structure was not the way to go, so they implemented something new.

You now only need three ADMX files (+ corresponding language files of course):

• ctxprofile5.6.0.admx
• CitrixBase.admx*
• receiver.admx**

Download mozilla firefox 2020. *This file is new. It only has one purpose, which is to define the shared 'Citrix Components' folder in the Group Policy editor.
**This file belong to Citrix Receiver 4.6

The following ADMX files have now been merged in the new 'receiver.admx' file:

• HdxFlash-Client.admx
• ica-file-signing.admx
• receiver_usb.admx

There is more than one way how to get these new ADMX files:

• Citrix Receiver - CitrixBase.admx and receiver.admx:
  • Download the ADMX files as a stand-alone package in the section Download for Admins (Deployment Tools): Receiver 4.6 for Windows
  • Download and install Receiver and than copy the files from the Citrix Receiver installation directory: C:Program Files (x86)CitrixICA ClientConfiguration
• Citrix User Profile Manager - CitrixBase.admx and ctxprofile5.6.0.admx:
  • Download the software User Profile Manager 5.6 in the section Components that are on the product ISO but also packaged separately.
    Extract the ZIP file:
    • The ADMX file for the User Profile Manager is located in the directory:
      Group Policy Templatesen
    • The ADMX file CitrixBase is located in the following directory:
      Group Policy TemplatesCitrixBase
  • Download the XenDesktop 7.12 ISO file in the section Product ISO.
    Extract the ISO file:
    • The ADMX file for the User Profile Manager is located in the directory:
      x64ProfileManagementADM_Templates
    • The ADMX file CitrixBase is located in the following directory:
      x64ProfileManagementADM_TemplatesCitrixBase

The remainder of this paragraph explains how to update the central ADMX repository in your domain.

• Central ADMX repository:
  %LogonServer%sysvol#DomainName#PoliciesPolicyDefinitions
• Central ADMX repository for the language files:
  %LogonServer%sysvol#DomainName#PoliciesPolicyDefinitions#language-country#

1. Delete the old Citrix ADMX language files (= *.ADML) from the repository:
   • ctxprofile5.x.0.adml (replace the 'x' for the correct version)
   • ica-file-signing.adml
   • HdxFlash-Client.adml
   • receiver.adml
   • receiver_usb.adml
2. Delete the old Citrix ADMX files from the repository:
   • ctxprofile5.x.0.admx (replace the 'x' for the correct version)
   • ica-file-signing.admx
   • HdxFlash-Client.admx
   • receiver.admx
   • receiver_usb.admx
3. Copy the new Citrix ADMX language files (= *.ADML) to the repository:
   • ctxprofile5.6.0.adml
   • CitrixBase.adml
   • receiver.adml
4. Copy the new Citrix ADMX files to the repository:
   • ctxprofile5.6.0.admx
   • CitrixBase.admx
   • receiver.admx

And now you are done. If you would like to test the ADMX files before updating the central ADMX repository you can use the local ADMX repository on a server:

Citrix Receiver Usb Installer

• Copy the ADML and ADMX files to the local ADMX repository (C:WindowsPolicyDefinitions)
• Open the local group policy console go to Start, Run and enter the command gpedit.msc. You will now see the new ADMX files.

Note: your group policy settings are NOT affected when you update ADMX files. Your settings are stored in different files within the group policy:

• Registry.pol -> contains group policy settings
• *.xml (e.g. Files.xml) contains your group policy preference settings
• Policies.gpf -> contains the settings of your Citrix policy (NOT the once based on an ADMX file)

The path to your group policy is as follows:
%LogonServer%sysvol#DomainName#Policies#PolicyGUID#

The result

The group policy console now looks like this:

Most items are now stored under Citrix Components, except for the Workspace Environment Management and ShareFile policies. Still, it is quite an improvement I would say.

I am happy with the progress Citrix made. But since I am a bit of a stickler, I still see room for improvement. For example, the name of the ADMX file should always start with 'Citrix' in my opinion. This makes it a lot easier to identify all Citrix-related ADMX files in the central repository. Also, the first letter of the ADMX file should start with a capital letter, but now I am nitpicking.

• 4Troubleshooting

Requirements

• Citrix XenApp 7.6+ / XenDesktop 5.6+
• Citrix Receiver 4.2+
• VDA Running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Higher

Configuring Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop Policy

• Start Citrix Studio
• Go to 'Policies' on the left-hand side.
• Either edit an existing policy, or create a new policy.
• Edit 'Client USB device redirection', set it to 'Allowed'.
• Edit 'Client USB device redirection rules', click 'New' and type: 'Allow: VID=18FB' (space and capitalization is important, no quotes).
  • If you wish to also include the PID in your redirection rule, please view our list of USB IDs.
• Click 'Finish' and close Citrix Studio.

Configuring Automatic Device Forwarding

Using Group Policy

• Open the group policy editor for the policy controlling your Citrix Receiver client's.
• Go to Administrative Templates -> Citrix Components -> Citrix Receiver -> Remoting client devices -> Generic USB Remoting (if this is missing you need the Citrix Group Policy Extensions, see here).
• Open 'New USB Devices', select 'Enabled', click 'OK'.
• Open 'Existing USB Devices', select 'Enabled', click 'OK'.
• If you need to restrict which devices get automatically forwarded, open 'USB Device Rules', add the required rules and hit 'OK'.
• Run 'gpupdate /force' as an administrator on the client computer you're testing on to make sure you have the newest version of the policy.

Citrix Receiver Install

Using the Registry

• Create a new key located at: HKLMSOFTWARECitrixICA ClientGenericUSBDevicesVID18FB PID0200 (replace PID0200 with the product id for the product you're looking to forward).
• Create a new DWORD value named 'AutoRedirect' and set it to '1'.
• Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesCitrixICA ClientUSB
• To automatically redirect devices when the session starts create a new String Value named 'ExistingDevices' and set it to 'always'
• To automatically redirect devices when they are plugged in create a new String Value named 'NewDevices' and set it to 'always'

Troubleshooting

Receiver Drivers

• Citrix Receiver installs two drivers to support USB forwarding functionality
• In a command prompt run: driverquery
• A list of installed drivers should display and look like this:

Open Citrix Receiver

• Verify that both ctxusbm and Ctxusbr are in the list
• If a driver is missing, attempt a reinstall of Citrix or contact support to attempt to resolve the missing driver issue
