Scripts to upgrade Citrix VDA agent

Description

Upgrade Citrix VDA agent from one version to another version. Example 7.15 LTSR to 1912 LTSR.

Prerequisites

Download VDAWorkstationSetup_1912.exe from citrix downloads page.

Usage

• Customize and copy install.bat, remove.bat and VDAWorkstationSetup_1912.exe to a network share.
• Run VDA upgrade.ps1 file. It will copy install.bat, remove.bat, and VDAWorkstationSetup_1912.exe from network share to c:\temp on every VDI in the list.

How does it work

• Creates Scheduled tasks - One for uninstalling existing VDA agent and another for installing new VDA agent.
• Executes VDAUninstall scheduled task first. This scheduled task runs after 3 minutes it is created. Once started, it runs remove.bat file and restarts the VDA.
• After reboot, it runs VDAInstall scheduled task. This scheduled task runs install.bat file. No user login is required.
• After installation is complete, it deletes install.bat, remove.bat, VDAWorkstationSetup_1912.exe files from c:\temp and also deletes VDAuninstall, VDAInstall scheduled tasks.

citrix-vda-upgrade-scripts's Issues

No issues, but nice script

Inplace upgrade

Hello ,
We are trying to do a inplace upgrade for our VDA which means installing on top of the existing ones.
I have modified the script just to install. However , the task is not getting triggered at startup .
Also , the machines needs multiple reboot when VDA is installing. Unfortunately , its not rebooting.

Could you please assist what needs to be changed.

Thanks
