Today i was curious if it was possible to disable applications in Citrix at a specified time. A little bit of Googling later and i found this script:<\/p>\n

Save this as vbs file. This script will disable an app after prompting for the
\nappname.
\nI included subroutines for both enabling and disabling
\napp
\ndepending on what you want, comment out the lines where the
\nsubroutine is
\ncalled.

This is great so if you know you have a maintenance window that you want certain apps offline, you can schedule this so users cannot log in to them via citrix.<\/p>\n

Fun stuff<\/p>\n
