In the past I wrote a couple of blog posts about the unattended installation and configuration of Citrix StoreFront. I had a version with PowerShell and a building block for Ivanti Automation. Since itโs been a while and some PowerShell cmdlets for the configuration have changed I have created new versions. In this blog I will describe how you can use these in your own environment.
These scripts have been tested with Citrix StoreFront 2503 on Windows Server 2022.
NOTE: Usually I post these recaps on MyCUGC.org. But with the move from MyCUGC to the new Citrix Community (link) only technical blogs are posted.
Spring is here and along with it another edition of the bi-annual meetup of the Dutch Citrix User Group (DuCUG). And what an edition it was. Great sessions with lots of Citrix-related updates, know-how and experiences. As with earlier recaps, I wrote this blog to share what this event is like and what each session was about. Maybe I can convince some of you to attend. ๐ Continue reading →
UPDATE 2025: This is an old blog post and the scripts use old PowerShell Cmdlets. A new(er) version is available here.
NOTE: This blog was also posted on MyCUGC.org (link) on March 3rd, 2021.
About three years ago, I posted a blog about how to perform an unattended installation and configuration of Citrix StoreFront with Ivanti Automation. It did the installation, the creation of a new store and it added a second StoreFront server to the server group.
Since most organizations are stepping away from (still awesome) tools like Ivanti Automation and are moving towards solutions like Puppet, Ansible, Chocolatey, Packer, plain PowerShell, etc., I wanted to create a PowerShell script that does the same, but does not require an automation tool.
In this short blog, I will post how it works, how you can use it and of course the scripts themselves. Keep in mind that this is just an example, it is not a definitive solution for deploying StoreFront. Also, these scripts are not signed with a certificate because you need to enter your environment specific variables.
