[…] Use a Task Sequence to update Citrix VDA […]
Thnx and hug! I feel your pain! 🙂
Hello Jay, thanks for the helpful post!
Any chance you could share the exported TS (.zip file)?

Sure can,

Can you share the package? mu201693?
You need to download the VDA installer from the Citrix downloads portal
Do you by chance have a post regarding installation of VDAServerSetup via SCCM?
No, I don't really manage Citrix, but was helping out another team in that scenario
How is your package setup for the vda.exe installer? I am doing the same thing and for some reason the TS can't seem to access it to run the CMD line you have setup. I have an application I made that has no issues running but like everyone else here it gets stuck on a reboot and then I have to manually go login and continue the install so I am looking at this TS option to smooth things out since I need to deploy to 500ish VDI's.
I think it just had the file in there. Citrix sucks, may need to check your logs
