Manage DaaS-provisioned non-domain-joined machines using WEM

January 4, 2023

Contributed by:

You can use Workspace Environment Management (WEM) to manage non-domain-joined-machines provisioned in Citrix DaaS.

To achieve the goal, do the following:

Go to DaaS > Manage > Full Configuration > Machine Catalogs to locate the catalog you want to manage using WEM.
Select the catalog and then select Manage Configuration Set in the action bar.
Select a configuration set to which you want to bind the catalog.
In WEM, apply settings to the machines by configuring the configuration set.

Prerequisites

Before you start, verify that the following prerequisites are met:

WEM agent version 2103.2.0.1 or later.
Agents installed with Skip Configuration selected. See Install agents.

Manage configuration set for a catalog

To manage configuration set for a catalog, do the following:

Sign in to Citrix Cloud.
Navigate to My Services > DaaS > Manage > Full Configuration > Machine Catalogs.
Select the catalog and then select Manage configuration set in the action bar. The Manage configuration set blade appears.
Select a configuration set to which you want to bind the catalog.

Note:

If the selected configuration set has not been configured to include settings relating to the basic configuration of WEM, the Apply basic settings to configuration set option appears. We recommend that you select the option to apply basic settings to the configuration set.
After you have finished, click Save to save your change and exit the blade.

To verify which configuration set the catalog is bound to, select the catalog and check the Workspace Environment Management tab in the lower pane. The tab shows the configuration set to which the catalog is bound.

For more information, see Manage configuration set for a catalog in the DaaS documentation.

Apply settings to non-domain-joined machines

Before configuring settings, you can first view relevant information in WEM:

In DaaS, go to Manage > Environment Management (Web).
In Directory Objects, check the non-domain-joined machines and the configuration set to which those machines are bound.
In Monitoring > Agents, view the non-domain machines.
In Configuration Sets, click the target configuration set.
In System Optimization, adjust and apply settings as needed.

In this example, some settings are enabled. Those settings are configured automatically because the Apply basic settings to configuration set option was selected in DaaS.

You can then apply settings to the non-domain-joined machines by configuring the configuration set. For example, you can apply policies to them:

In Actions > Group Policy Settings, select a GPO, click Manage assignments, and then select Everyone.

You can go to a non-domain-joined machine to verify that the policy has taken effect. You can also assign other actions if needed. For settings to be applied to non-domain-joined machines, be sure to select Everyone.
