The Connector for
Configuration Manager 2012 section contains policy settings for configuring the
Citrix Connector 7.5 agent.
Important: Warning, logoff, and reboot message policies apply only to deployments to Server OS machine catalogs that are managed manually or by Provisioning Services. For those machine catalogs, the Connector service
alerts users when there
are pending application installs or software updates.
For catalogs managed by MCS, use Studio to notify users. For manually managed Desktop OS catalogs, use Configuration Manager to notify users. For Desktop OS catalogs managed by Provisioning Services, use Provisioning Services to notify users.

Image-managed mode
The Connector agent automatically detects if it is running on a
machine clone managed by Provisioning Services or MCS. The agent blocks Configuration
Manager updates on image-managed clones and automatically installs
the updates on the master image of the catalog.
After a master
image is updated, use Studio to orchestrate the reboot of MCS
catalog clones. The Connector Agent automatically orchestrates
the reboot of PVS catalog clones during Configuration Manager
maintenance windows. To override
this behavior so that software is installed on catalog clones by
Configuration Manager, change Image-managed mode to Disabled.
