During a recent customer engagement, I encountered an interesting Citrix issue: LCM-22664.

In the affected environment, both Citrix Workspace App and the Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) were installed on the same Windows system.

🔴 The problem

During the investigation, I noticed that registry monitoring by the Citrix Telemetry Service was not working as expected.

The cause was a Citrix-documented issue with Workspace App 2402 LTSR CU4 when installed alongside a VDA.

This combination is particularly common in nested Citrix environments.

🔍 My approach

✅ Checked the installed Workspace App and VDA versions

✅ Investigated the Citrix Telemetry Service

✅ Reviewed the registry configuration and telemetry logs

✅ Compared the symptoms with Citrix Known Issue LCM-22664

🛠 The fix

Citrix resolved the issue in Workspace App 2402 LTSR CU4 Hotfix 1.

My recommendation: validate the hotfix on a test VDA before deploying it to production.

💡 My takeaway

Not every Citrix issue manifests as an ICA disconnect or a failed logon.

Sometimes the session itself works correctly while the diagnostic infrastructure is impaired in the background.

And that can become a problem during the next troubleshooting exercise.
