Receiver asking for logon information after .msi install

Citrix Merchandising Server 2.0 300x189 Receiver asking for logon information after .msi install

Citrix Merchandising Server 2.0 (CMS) was released in the end of August and the most important feature is Anonymous Deliveries. Installing Citrix Receiver with a system token enables Receiver to fully configure plug-ins without users needing to authenticate with Merchandising Server. I have now tested this feature with SCCM and it works great, no more double logon prompts.

First of all you’ll need to upgrade CMS to 2.0 and then create a token. I use the following script to do an unattended installation of Citrix Receiver with my custom token value. Just copy and paste your token value into the script.

Great! Searched for the receiver packaging tool lately, but your script does the trick I was looking for. Many thanks!
