GACS Discovery Region
Supported on: Citrix Workspace app for Windows 2507 and above.
Description
Select the region from which Citrix Workspace app retrieves discovery endpoints from the Citrix Global App Config Service. If US Gov is selected, the discovery endpoint comes from the U.S. region. If Default is selected, the discovery endpoints are retrieved from the default global endpoint.
Registry
HKLM
Software\Policies\Citrix\GlobalAppConfig REG Builder
BETAConfigure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.
These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
