Citrix Patching

Hello,

I was curious if Citrix Workspace is no longer available for patching via ZENworks (23.4) in the new advanced patching. I know it used to be but today when reviewing, I don't see any patch data or information for it. I looked through documentation and it appears it should still be... ZENworks Patch Management Content Report (microfocus.com)

    OMG, we just found the same thing by accident.... actually there's no patching available for our workspace app.

     : Regarding the picture - I'm wondering about the Vendor ID ( Receiver 4.0...), maybe theres something wrong in detection? Nice to see being able to update/upgrade Receiver to Workspace App, but we're using the app for a long time and in the past it worked well to upgrade those... Right now no client detects the and there should be a few thousand devices Disappointed

    Even worse: Our basic package is somewhat old ( version 19.5 ) but it wasn't a big deal because ZPM upgraded it in the past ( to 22.3 ) , right now new machines will stay with the old one ( of course we're going to fix this.... )

    Best Regards

    Actually with more Digging, it does look like it is no longer available for patching.

    The reason is more legal technicalities than technical ones.  The official download link for the latest version is...

    https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/windows/workspace-app-for-windows-latest.html?24.5.0.131

    Clicking the download link you get a license agreement you must accept.....This prevents much of the automated background processes.

    For now, you can use a bundle instead of ZPM to ensure you have the latest....and then update it as new ones come out.

    There are hopes to be able to add a feature to ZPM to allow admins to provide a custom download URL so they can manually obtain the patch and provide and alternate download source.  Exact details are still to be determined, but the feature may be in ZCM 25.2. (Note: Edited from Saying 24.2, which was my intent)  

    (Note: ZCM 24.4 will be a quick release after 24.2 to get ZCM back on schedule for Early Q2/Q4 releases.)

    The OEM feed still has the ability to scan/detect such patches as needed, but due to the inability to remediate them they are not actually enabled and flagged as disabled.
