Citrix Workspace app for Chrome The new Citrix Workspace app (formerly known as Citrix Receiver) provides a great user experience — a secure, contextual, and unified workspace — on any device. If you are experiencing missing audio playback in Google Chrome inside an ICA session. Check if your version is above v77 of Chrome. If you are, you can work around the issue by the following.: 1 – By editing the registry.: HKCU Software Policies Google Chrome – to apply on the user level. Because Citrix developed the Workspace app for Chrome OS in the Chrome framework, it has somewhat limited access to the underlying system. This is by design on Google's part, but it limits the use of advanced features that Citrix has created over the past few years.

Would rather it never worked at all instead of getting my hopes up.

• Citrix App Layering

Objective

Google Chrome by default will install into a user profile which is problematic for mass deployment in a layer. However Google does provide an “offline” installer that installs Chrome into “Program Files” and this installer should be used with Unidesk if installing into a layer.
The default way Chrome will work is to then copy itself into the user profile when it runs.

Instructions

None.Unidesk recommends including the OS Type and OS bit level in the name, for Example Google Chrome 31 Win7x32. For versions remember that when choosing a layer you can see the version name but not the version description. Use naming that will allow you to differentiate versions appropriately. For example “1.0 12-12-2013”.The basic installation steps are straight forward:

1. Create a Google Chrome application layer
   1. Install Chrome using the offline installer or msi
   2. Note on extensions
   3. Disable Google Updates (optional)
2. Configure Chrome AD GPO’s
3. Apply the layer to desired desktops

Step 1 Create a Google Chrome Application Layer

The first step is to install Chrome itself. Download the offline installer from here:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/126299?hl=en
Choose the Alternate installer for all user accounts. Then install Chrome. It will install into the “Program Files” directory.
To install extensions please use a GPO http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ExtensionInstallForcelist

Disable Updates

Google Chrome Citrix Plugin

There are two ways that can be used to disable Google Updates for Chrome. You can use the enterprise GPOs, see the next section or follow this link to disable via the registry
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/turning-off-auto-updates
or set the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesGoogleUpdateAutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes to the REG_DWORD value of '0'.
Step 2 (Optional but recommended) Install and configure the Google Enterprise Active Directory Templates In Order To Manage These Settings
The Goggle Chromium project has created a set of GPO settings that can be used to manage Chrome in an Enterprise Environment.
Here is where you can download the ADM files and see the documentation:
https://support.google.com/installer/answer/146164?hl=en
Once you have the ADM files installed its very easy to configure Chrome settings.
Updates
If you are using a GPO to disable updates just add a version to your layer and open Chrome it will automatically update. If you have used the registry setting to disable updates modify the registry setting to a number other than 0 and open chrome, it will update then you can set the registry entry back to 0. Note: If this doesn’t work for you let me know I was not able to test this in the lab.
If you have enabled any updates through scheduled tasks, disable that as well.
Considerations for Non-Persistent Desktops
It is not possible to add custom extensions for a single user with a NP desktop.
