Updating your Citrix Cloud Connector is essential to making sure you have the most up-to-date connection to Citrix Cloud. But when is the best time for an update to happen? That can vary from company to company, and even among resource locations locally or across the globe.

IT admins can now set their preferred time of day for Citrix Cloud Connector updates and manage their resource locations and Cloud Connectors all in the same place! No matter how many connectors you have in your enterprise, you can now schedule your updates to happen at the optimal time in each of your regions. As an IT admin, not only is setting a preferred time of day convenient for you, it helps your end users, too. Having updates happen when your users aren’t accessing the system helps ensure uninterrupted workflow. And you can schedule updates for when your support team is available to help.

Cool! How does it work?

To set your preferred time of day for updates, navigate to the Resource Locations panel in the Citrix Cloud platform (there is a menu for every Resource Location). When you click on the menu, you will see a Manage Resource Location button.

From here, you can change the name of the Resource Location and choose your preference for Cloud Connector updates. Set the time you like or, if you’d rather, leave it on the default setting. Updates will begin as soon as a new one is available.

For your convenience, you can also select a preferred time zone, even if you have Cloud Connectors around the globe. For example, if you have two resource locations — one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast — you can schedule updates to occur after hours in their respective time zones. (The time zone you select does not have to be where the resource location is physically located.)

Updating your Citrix Cloud Connector is essential to making sure you have the most up to date and secure connection to Citrix Cloud. Choosing a preferred time of day is the first step providing more customization capabilities for Citrix Cloud Connector updates. We are especially excited about giving our customers the tools to make our software work better for them.
