Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

System Tray Icon Redirection

Starting with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops release 2212, remote system tray icons that are present on the VDA will be automatically redirected to the client when using seamless applications.

All system tray icons on the VDA hosting the seamless application will be redirected to the endpoint.

In the example above, the marked System Tray icons for Sharefile and Symantec are redirected from the VDA to the client.

These icons will also be present in the Citrix Workspace Connection Center.

End users can interact with these redirected system tray icons in the same way as local system tray icons.

When using seamless applications hosted on different VDAs, this could cause duplicate system tray icons to appear on the endpoint when the VDAs have identical system tray icons.

This behaviour is enabled by default and is currently non-configurable.
