Connector for Configuration Manager 2012 policy settings
The Connector for Configuration Manager 2012 section contains policy settings for configuring the Citrix Connector 7.5 agent.
Important:
Warning, logoff, and reboot message policies apply only to deployments to Multi-session OS machine catalogs that are managed manually or by Provisioning Services. For those machine catalogs, the Connector service alerts users when there are pending application installs or software updates.
For catalogs managed by MCS, use Studio to notify users. For manually managed Single-session OS catalogs, use the Configuration Manager to notify users. For Single-session OS catalogs managed by Provisioning Services, use Provisioning Services to notify users.
Warning frequency interval
This setting defines the interval between appearances of the warning message to users.
Intervals are set using the format ddd.hh:mm:ss, where:
- ddd is days, an optional parameter, with a range of 0–999.
- hh is hours with a range of 0–23.
- mm is minutes with a range of 0–59.
- ss is seconds with a range of 0–59.
By default, the interval setting is 1 hour (01:00:00).
Warning message box body text
This setting contains the editable text of the message to users notifying them of upcoming software updates or maintenance that requires them to log off.
By default, the message is: {TIMESTAMP} Save your work. The server goes offline for maintenance in {TIMELEFT}.
Warning message box title
This setting contains the editable text of the title bar of the warning message to users.
By default, the title is: Upcoming Maintenance
Warning time period
This setting defines how far before maintenance the warning message first appears.
The time is set using the format ddd.hh:mm:ss, where:
- ddd is days, an optional parameter, with a range of 0–999.
- hh is hours with a range of 0–23.
- mm is minutes with a range of 0–59.
- ss is seconds with a range of 0–59.
By default, the setting is 16 hours (16:00:00), indicating that the first warning message appears approximately 16 hours before maintenance.
Final force logoff message box body text
This setting contains the editable text of the message-alerting users that a forced logoff has begun.
By default, the message is: The server is currently going offline for maintenance
Final force logoff message box title
This setting contains the editable text of the title bar of the final force-logoff message.
By default, the title is: Notification From IT Staff
Force logoff grace period
This setting defines the period between notifying users to log off and the implementation of the forced logoff to process the pending maintenance.
The time is set using the format ddd.hh:mm:ss, where:
- ddd is days, an optional parameter, with a range of 0–999.
- hh is hours with a range of 0–23.
- mm is minutes with a range of 0–59.
- ss is seconds with a range of 0–59.
By default, the force-logoff grace period setting is 5 minutes (00:05:00).
Force logoff message box body text
This setting contains the editable text of the message-telling users to save their work and log off before starting a forced logoff.
By default, the message contains the following: {TIMESTAMP} Save your work and log off. The server goes offline for maintenance in {TIMELEFT}.
Force logoff message box title
This setting contains the editable text of the title bar of the force-logoff message.
By default, the title is: Notification From IT Staff
Image-managed mode
The Connector agent automatically detects if it is running on a machine clone managed by Provisioning Services or MCS. The agent blocks Configuration Manager updates on image-managed clones and automatically installs the updates on the master image of the catalog.
After a master image is updated, use Studio to orchestrate the reboot of MCS catalog clones. The Connector Agent automatically orchestrates the reboot of PVS catalog clones during Configuration Manager maintenance windows. To override this behavior so that software is installed on catalog clones by Configuration Manager, change Image-managed mode to Disabled.
Reboot message box body text
This setting contains the editable text of the message-notifying users when the server is about to be restarted.
By default, the message is: The server is currently going offline for maintenance.
Regular time interval at which the agent task is to run
This setting determines how frequently the Citrix Connector agent task runs.
The time is set using the format ddd.hh:mm:ss, where:
- ddd is days, an optional parameter, with a range of 0–999.
- hh is hours with a range of 0–23.
- mm is minutes with a range of 0–59.
- ss is seconds with a range of 0–59.
By default, the regular time interval setting is 5 minutes (00:05:00).
