The Citrix developers have – finally – released a tool that can help many admins with deploying the Citrix Client in their environment.

Citrix

The Citrix Receiver CleanUp Utility should remove traces from all previous versions of the Receiver and also older versions called Citrix Online Plugin.

  1. So, it is always recommended to use citrix receiver cleanup utility to remove existing citrix receiver from a user's machine. Receiver cleanup utility is available for download from citrix support site, but each citrix receiver setup has receiver cleanup utility in it. Use software like 7 zip to extract contents of citrixreceiver.exe to a folder.
  2. Receiver Cleanup Utility is a technology that is designed to help cleanup errors during upgrades from a previous version of the Receiver or Citrix Online Plug-in. The technology helps to remove any lingering data (files and Windows Registry entries) related to the Citrix Receiver on systems where the software has been removed.

See here a full Download List of all Citrix Clients versions
There was a serious need for this tool since a lot of issues have been found when installing Citrix Receiver, when older versions or traces of it are still installed.
I have received more than 10.000 (!) hits on this article so far, so it is safe to state that the majority of Citrix admins and users were and are struggling with the installation/configuration/uninstallation of the latest Citrix clients (Receiver).

Issues encountered when traces traces from older versions are found:

The following issues have been encountered:

  • An error message after launching an application caused by older registry keys.
  • 2 different icons in the system tray.
  • Both pnamain.exe and receiver.exe loaded at the same time.
  • Missing options after right clicking the icon in the system tray.
  • Sudden occurences of no application being lauched after clicking it.
  • No information/warning that older clients have been detected, and no option to uninstall it automatically.
  • Pass-through Authentication randomly or not at all working.

Unfortunately it does not uninstall all existing Citrix Clients on a pc, it merely cleans up registry keys and files. There is an option to backup the keys and files, and to run things silently.

So the administrators still need to write scripts to launch the uninstall application, which is since then last years the executable, which sounds like a virus, TrolleyExpress.exe.
Depending on the version and 32 or 64-bit the TrolleyExpress.exe is found in a different location.

A real pity because there is a great need of a tool that does the uninstallation silently, and without reboot. We hope Citrix is working on that…

Using Two-step Login (also called Two-factor Authentication, or 2FA) to protect your Bitwarden Vault prevents a malicious actor from accessing your Vault even if they discover your Master Password by requiring authentication from a secondary device when you log in. If you're unfamiliar with the basics of 2FA, check out our Field Guide. Bitwarden Authenticator (TOTP)-Two-step login: 2FA: 2FA, YubiKey, U2F, Duo: 2FA, YubiKey, U2F, Duo: Vault health reports-Emergency Access-Priority support-Cloud host: Self-host option: Pricing $0 Get Started $10/Year Get Started $40/Year Get Started. 2fa bitwarden sign in. I use the Bitwarden passphrase generator with three words, a numeral, and punctuation, which yields over 40 bits of entropy. Set up 2FA for both your new secure email and the Bitwarden account. Secure your master password and 2FA recovery data externally. It could be a slip of paper with your vehicle title, birth certificate, and will. The best way to manage all your 2FA accounts is to use the Authy app. Pick a strong password for your master password. I use the Bitwarden passphrase generator with three words, a numeral, and punctuation, which yields over 40 bits of entropy. Set up 2FA for both your new secure email and the Bitwarden account. Secure your master password and 2FA recovery data externally.

Since Citrix doesn't have a tool somebody else wrote one already some time ago: A great free tool to help uninstall ALL previous versions is UNICA from Gourami: http://www.gourami.eu/products/unica.html

With a simple command line it is possible to uninstall and install your client. 'UNICA searches the uninstall information of a workstation for every product which was released by Citrix and uninstalls it. UNICA waits till everything is finished uninstalling, and then launches the installation command line for deploying the new client.'

A downside of the tool is the following: 'Because UNICA uninstalls every product that is released by Citrix, it also uninstalls the presentation server console'. Aparantly Citrix GoToMeeting is not uninstalled (at least the version I had) but that probably doesn't count for other Citrix apps.

Note it does not run on servers, just in case somebody accidentally runs it on a Citrix server, your Citrix XenApp is not uninstalled from your server.
I found it very useful, and a time saver.

So the Citrix Receiver CleanUp Utility is a tool to run after the uninstallation of before the installation of the Citrix Client.

Basically the executuable cleanup.exe will run, and removes the settings from the current store you had configured.

Run the following commands:

C:Program Files (x86)CitrixSelfServicePluginCleanUp.exe –cleanUser
Note: ‘U' must be capitalized in the parameter

Reset Citrix Receiver To Default Settings

Adding the following switch allows for silent execution without pop-up:
-cleanUser -silent

Resetting Receiver to factory defaults removes the following items:

  • All accounts and stores
  • All apps delivered by the Self-Service Plug-in, along with their icons and registry keys
  • All file type associations created by the Self-Service Plug-in
  • Cached files and saved passwords
  • Per-user registry settings that are user preferences and, for per-machine installations, all user-specific registry settings
  • Access Gateway registry settings for Receiver

Resetting Receiver does not impact the following items:

  • Receiver or Plug-in installation
  • Per-machine ICA lockdown settings
