NITCtxPatcher a patchmanager for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x

XenAppPatch_2

NITCtxPatcher a patchmanager for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x

May 2017 The NITCtxPatchManager is back, after some changes from Citrix on the website. Finally we've made it this far. Version 1.1.2 is available. Now with support for XenApp/XenDesktop 7.7 and 7.6 SP3. You can now detect the superseded hotfixes with the report function.

Broken:( are you searching for a version for XenApp 6.x ? Go to this blog post >here<)

Searching for patches on the Citrix website is a lot of work. 10 sites with 10 patches on each site for XenDesktop 7.6 alone. Therefore I have decided to build a patching tool and patchmanager for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x. We created this application to download all hotfixes and LIMITED hotfixes.
This is the first release with all features. This tool can save a lot of work. Maybe even a few days in the year for an administrator, making it a real timesaver. Eric from Xenappblog.com has written a nice contribution about this: Automate Citrix Hotfix Installation Together With Feature PacksAutomate Citrix Hotfix Installation Together With Feature Packs

Direct downlaod latest Version 1.3.0

Please also note our other tool for Citrix :AppBot, a Citrix Application Streaming (CAS or XenApp Streaming) to App-V 5 and MSI Converter:Appbot

NITCtxPatcher Version1.3

Requirements

Features

Quickly select and download patches for XenApp and XenDesktop 7.1 and higher

Quickly select and download LIMITED patches for XenApp/Desktop 7.1 and higher with one click

  • Automatically detect superseded patches
  • Automatically download LIMITED patches
  • Generate silent installation scripts for your patches
  • Proxy support
  • Support for an automatic MyCitrix login
  • HTML reports for your downloaded patches
  • Unzip Hotfix archives (for example the DDC and the Citrix Studio)
  • Run custom scripts after the download
  • Command line support
  • Full silent run of the tool 

Quick guid 

Download and signature

The installation sources and this documentation can be downloaded from this web page. 

 

Download

 First you can check the signature of the Installer. NITCtxPatcher is a signed MSI, as is the .exe file in the installer. To check the signature click with the right mouse button on the MSI and select properties.

Signature Andreas Nick

 Signature2

 Installation

1.) Start the Installer NITCtxPatcher1.0.0.msi with a double-click

Installer

2.) Click Install

Silent installation

The following command launches a silent installation for the NITCtxPatcher:

Msiexec.exe /I NITCtxPatcher1.0.0.msi /qb

The installer is for a 32 bit application and the default path is “C:\Program Files (x86)\NITCtxPatcher”

You can change the installation location with the MSI variable “APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY “ to a location of your choice:

Msiexec.exe /I NITCtxPatcher1.0.0.msi APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY= /qb

For example:

Msiexec.exe /I NITCtxPatcher1.0.0.msi APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY=”C:\MyApplicationfolder” /qb

 Searching for and downloading patches

1.) Start the application via the desktop or start menu shortcut
2.) Select your filter options
3.) Click the “Search” button

SelectPatches

You can select any combination for both the filter and download.

  • IMPORTANT: 32/64 Bit –select one or both, if you like
  • “Citrix GPM” Group Policy Management Console
  • “DStudio” Patches for the Desktop Studio
  • “VDA TS” VDA Core Services for Terminalserver
  • “VDA WS” VDA Core Services for Desktops
  • “UPS Server/Client” for the Universal Print Server
  • “DDC” for Delivery Controller patches
  • “POTH” for the Citrix PowerShell Module
  • “MISA” Machine Identity Service Agent
  • “Director” Hotfixes for the Citrix Director
  • “Other” All other patches. Maybe with their own checkboxes in the future (please mail me your suggestions)
  • If no checkbox is selected, the tool will show all patches.

Downloading the patches

The download launches after pressing the "Start download" button.

NitCtxPatcher patch download

After the download ends open a window with the clipboard path. This is by default
“%TEMP %\NitCtxPatches \<XA/XDVersion>”
The path can be changed in the configuration settings.
In the log file “NITCtxPatch.log” is information concerning whether everything has functioned correctly.

DlFolder

Create a Report

A new feature since version 0.94 is the possibility to produce reports. An abstract is created for all clicked patches. You can see which functions are patched and what was replaced. An example Report : http://www.software-virtualisierung.de/whitepapers/finish/4-dokumente/67-citrix-patch-report-example/0.html

The Button “Full report” creates a report for all patches (selected and unselected).

NITCtxPatcher Report

The NITCtxPatcher creates a new tooltip for every entry in the report view.

NITCtxPatcher-Tooltip

Proxy and account configuration


The account settings administer the proxy and the MyCitrix account. We had big problems with different proxy to servers. Tord Bergset from Norway helped us greatly. I hope now the problems are solved with all proxy servers

NitCtxPatcher Proxy

1) Set a MyCitrix account for access to the limited patches. Every password is stored encrypted in the config file.
2) Settings for your proxy server
3) Use the system-wide default authentication. The proxy can also authenticate via Active Directory.
4) Proxy username and password

Download settings

Here some general settings for the Script generator and automatic downloads.

NitCtxPatcher Patch

  1. “Autoselect Limited” – Automatically selects all LIMITED Patches for a download, in addition to selected patches. Please be careful using this option and read exactly what the patches do.
  2. “Overwrite existing Patches” – Overwrites the files in the patch repository every time.
  3. “Delete superseded from repository” - If the tool finds an old, invalid patch in the repository, it will delete the old patch.
  4. “Download only” - This tool can create a silent installation script after the download. This is activated here.
  5. “Switch norestart” - The installation script sets a no restart entry for every file. Many patches request a restart after the installation and need a restart in order to function. This option allows a restart to be delayed until after all patches have been installed.

Every Zip archive is automatically unpacked and individually integrated into the silent script. Here is an example using Hotfix 2 for the Citrix DDC:

@echo off

 Common settings

 Here are other general settings.

GeneralSettings

  1. Temp repository can change the default location for the patch repository. This setting is also stored in the configuration file.
  2. “Copy result” Creates a copy of the “selected” patches to a specified location. All patches remain in the repository.
  3. “Delete repository after copy” – Deletes the temp repository with all your patches after copying them to the specified location. Might be desired to cleanup after every download. Be careful not to make a mistake and delete the C:\ drive, for example!
  4. Run Powershell – Runs a Powershell after the download

Run own scripts

Trond from Xenappblog has written an article about our tool. There appears a question about how to integrate the whole in the Automation Framework.
http://xenappblog.com/2015/automate-citrix-hotfix-installation/
From the comments in the blog:


“Wouldn’t it be great if the NITCTXPatcher tool would provide a method to automatically download all the hotfixes these folders used by the Automation"?

Framework:

  • DDC\32
  • DDC\64
  • VDA\Desktop\32
  • VDA\Desktop\64
  • VDA\Server\32
  • VDA\Server\64”

My solution is to allow your own scripts. And I have written an example script. This script is installed with the tool. Please send me your script ideas as well as your own Installation scripts if you like. I will integrate them and credit you by name in the appendix!
All scripts are stored in the application folder C:\Program Files (x86)\NITCtxPatcher\scripts. Execution of Powershell scripts scripts must be permitted on the system.

Set-executionpolicy –executionpolicy remotesigned

There you can place your own scripts. These are only examples. Currently untested!

            Remove-Item "$destination" -Force
        }
        New-Item "$destination" -Type directory -Force
        copy  "$source\*" "$destination\"
    }
}

xBlogCopy -source "$Basefolder\VDAWS64Bit" -destination "$CopyTo\VDA\Desktop\64"
#.....
xBlogCopy -source "$Basefolder\VDATS64Bit" -destination "$CopyTo\VDA\Server\64"

 Configuration file

The configuration for a „download action“ is stored in a single .xml file. Password settings are encrypted with a secure key in the application. You can save your own config file to another location for „special“ jobs. For example, when downloading silent VDA Workstation/Desktop patches.
The default configuration file and the most recent settings are stored here:
%APPDATA%\NITCTXPatcher\ NITCtxPatcherConfig.xml
The patcher saves automatically every time you start a download.

Commandline

Version 1.0 has command line support. This means the tool can be executed silently with a configuration file.
Command line syntax :: NITCTXPatcher.exe -config
Full Silent mode :: -silent
Hidden gui :: -nogui
Creating an automatic silent installation

  1. Create your own config file. Check all the checkboxes you need. For example VDAWS, 64 bit, Silent Script.
  2. Save the .xml config file using “Save as” to your desired location.
  3. Create a batch or Powershell with NITCTXPatcher.exe –config -silent
  4. Schedule your script.

NITCtxPatcher can create a silent script for a patch installation. You can schedule the script for your servers. We will soon publish a service as that should allow this to function similarly to Windows Update! Silent installation for XenDesktop 7.6 VDA Workstation with all limited patches 64 Bit

CPatch replacement in version 1.1

CPatch is a tool integrated into XenApp 6.x. and not in XenDesktop 7.x. The tool can detect installed hotfixes: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX105646
A user has asked for CPatch support in the script generator because Citrix seems to install the hotfix even if it is already installed. I helped with a new switch and a reg query command in the script generator.
The "CPatch replacement" checkbox does the same as the command cpatch /s /l | find /i "HotfixName = ICATS760WX64048" with a reg query "%BASEKEY%\ICATS760WX64048" command.

With this option, installed Hotfixes are detected and not installed.

With this option, installed Hotfixes are detected and not installed.

On just such a tool I've been waiting. The Citrix websites are extremely confusing. However, we have a proxy in the company. Please integrate this feature soon! Thank you very much!

Hello is it possible to export the found hotfixes to an csv file. We have a team with members from different sites (countires) and we have to discuss which hotfix should be rolled out on our servers/clients. I want to build up an excel file with additonal informations.

Hello Bernd, I plan a report function in html (what does the patch). Our rademap: Version 1.0 will provide a full silent support. Then I'm building a report funktion in html. When this work has been completed we will build a version for Xen App 6.5 and PVS. For other features like Excel CSV or SCCM integration (etc.) you can give a payed Job to my company (Nick Informationstechnik GmbH)

currently I'm very busy with my own cloud project. I think this will be a real surprise for many Citrix Consultants. the project will change everything in the shades! Therefore, it can also take some time with with extensions... but your company can hire us for you demand ;-)

Thank you for taking the time to provide this tool Any ideas why my AV would see this a Trojan on install? Coming up as a MSIL Trojan?

No idea. But thanks for the hint. I use Kaspersky. The Exe file is wrapper. This wrapper was perhaps used for the Trojan? All files are checked and digitally signed. Which antivirus do you use? I'll check the online files again.

The digital signature of the installer and the exe are ok. I have also checked in the registry. Everything is clean. A false alarm. Which antivirus do you use?

Tool looks good as identifying the required patches is not made easy by Citrix not detailing clearly what patch is relevant to which desktop or server role in the XenDesktop installation. Citrix do not supply a clear explanation of the naming convention for patch files and where it needs to be installed. For instance the powershell patch XDPoshModule760WX64002, is it required only on the delivery controller, or Delivery controller and XenApp servers and desktops with VDA installed, or anywhere where studio is installed etc.

Additional features that would be of great help in your tool would be to display which patches have been superseded by newer patches and where the patches need to be installed, e.g. only where VDA installed, where VDA installed and on delivery controllers, Director and Studio servers, etc. Plus covering other product components such as Provisioning Server and StoreFront.
Great work and many thanks

Forgot to say another useful feature would be to have a hyperlink to the citrix article for each listed hotfix. This would allow easy reviewing of details of each hotfix

Thank you for the feedback. There will be an improved version and also has its own version for 6.5 and also a better report function. Unfortunately, I am currently very busy. The tool was created because I did not have any project. And I until very glad that I'm now back into a new Citrix project. Please wait a bit longer.

It is planed in a later release. Also planed is a full silent download to your software repository (and maybe a sccm integration). I need some days free time.

Maybe soon! Currently I think, there are only a very few special German patches. Most patches, also for a German installation are delivered as "english" patch.

great tool, i see that as sample no patches or so will be available for Director 7.6.3, i mean this is little bit confused for me, is it normal, that XA7.6 FP2 ( what are only updates) not will be listet in your tool, also not the newest HDX Media Tools Version 1.8 or so?

Thank you! XA7.6 FP2 is not a classic patch. FP2 is a own product. The tool cannot find it. Updates to the FP2 should be appear in the tool (I hope).
