How to Put Citrix CVAD Servers into Maintenance Mode with ControlUp

Posted on August 5, 2025

A user asked for help with putting Citrix CVAD servers into Maintenance mode based on a specific event. Another user suggested using a built-in EUC tool, but since they don’t have any Delivery Controllers, it’s not possible. The ControlUp team is working on allowing the use of shared credentials in script actions for this issue. In the meantime, a workaround using the invoke-cuaction cmdlet was suggested. It was also mentioned that @member may have experience with this.

Hi,

I have a situation wheere I need to put som Citrix CVAD servers into Maintenance mode when a certain event is logged on the machine. (it is a Netlogon 5783 error that renders the machine unusable)

The trigger I have works without any problems, but my problem is that I have difficulties putting the Citrix CVAD server into Maintenance mode.

We are running Citrix Cloud with no on-prem Delivery Controllers, only Citrix CloudConnector servers.

Ideally I would want to use the built-in EUC tool (Enable/disable CVAD Maint mode) but it seems this is not available as a follow-up action.

The script in the script library is supposed to run on the Delivery Controllers, but since we do not have any, that is not possible.

Is there ANY way to ise the built in CVAD administration capability of ControlUp to do this action using the Citrix Cloud Credentials already in ControlUp

It work without any problems doing it manually, but it needs to be automated.


what do you think @member?


That’s correct, built-in actions are currently not available as follow-up actions. We will work on allowing the use of shared credentials in script actions (and this is what you need for this specific use case) in Q4/Q1 26


as a workaround you could use the invoke-cuaction cmdlet inside a sba but I am OOO and not sure how you could get the objectguid for the machine to it. Maybe @member has done this before
