Enable Read-Only Client Drive Mapping and Clipboard Mapping for XenApp


I would like to allow my users to redirect their local client drives and usb sticks, but they should only be able to copy data FROM their local client to the XenApp desktop but NOT from the XenApp Desktop to their local client drives.

So what I want is, that users are able to upload documents from their workstation to their shared desktop but are NOT able to transfer company data to their clients or connected devices.



As per Citrix Article we can achieve this is by enabling read-only mapped drive.  http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX124356

 

XenApp 6.0/6.5 2008 R2


To enable read-only mapped drive, set the following registry key on each XenApp server:
  1. Open the registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\services\picadm\Parameters
  1. Create a DWORD value with the value name ReadOnlyMappedDrive and value data 1.
  1. Restart the XenApp server.
To enable read-only Clipboard Mapping, set the following registry key on each XenApp server.
  1. Open the registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\Virtual Clipboard
  1. Create a DWORD value with the value name ReadOnly and value data 1.
  1. Restart the XenApp server.

Issue :- 

Unable to find the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdm\Parameters

Resolution :-

Enable Policy

ICA\File Redirection\Read-only client drive access

After that I was  able to see above mention Registry location.
