The options ENABLE_SSON=no and ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME=Yes are also specified to customize the installation.

Registry Key Modifications

After installation, modify the registry to configure Citrix Receiver settings. Use the following commands:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Dazzle" /v AllowAddStore /t REG_SZ /d N /f
if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" goto Fin

These commands disable the ability to add stores in Citrix Receiver, ensuring a more controlled user environment.
