In the second part I shared the scripts and RES One Automation Building Blocks to install unattended a PVS based XenDesktop 7.6 Server VDA. In part 1 the scripts for the Delivery Controller were shared. In this part three article I will show/share the unattended scripts for StoreFront and Director.
Citrix StoreFront
The installation of Citrix StoreFront is nowadays really simple, which also makes it easy to install unattended. For installation only one parameter is required, setting-up the Store and Receiver for Web unattended is also possible, but I’m seeing a trend that this one time configuration is done manually. Especially because the Server Group functionality is working fine, so configuration need to be set-up on one StoreFront server only. Again this script also contains a check if the installation successful. The mentioned uninstall key is for Citrix StroreFront 3.0.1.55, which was released as part of XenDesktop 7.6 Feature Pack 3. When using the Citrix StoreFront delivered with the XenDesktop 7.7 download (3.0.1.57), the GUID is {79FFED9F-5F4C-4BEC-B86E-6CD532CEC46D}. Citrix StoreFront 3.5 GUID (delivered within the XenDesktop 7.8 ISO version 3.5.0.23) is {C15660C5-71A2-45F5-9325-993228D730D3}.

Citrix Director
It is possible to install Director on a Delivery Controller. In the first part unattended parameter line you will need to add the value DESKTOPDIRECTOR at the components parameter. Personally I like to separate the Directory functionality from the Delivery Controller. As it also using IIS I often combine it with the StoreFront functionality. If separating the Delivery Controller and Directory you need to specify the Delivery Controller names, so Director can get the information from the Delivery Controllers. This is done via a command line utility DirectoryConfig.exe. In the script you need to specify the Delivery Controllers name for this utility. Also this script contain a check, the key is based on the Directory delivered within XenDesktop 7.6 FP2 and FP3 (Director 7.6.300). For the Director of XenDesktop 7.7 the GUID is {FFB5AE90-B80D-4698-AD93-BEBB9B149E1D} also located in the Wow6432Node registry location. For Director delivered with the XenDesktop 7.8 ISO the GUID is {E4A44961-B9A1-44A9-B5A3-859DD1183311}, however this one is located at the “normal” uninstall key (HKLM\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\UnInstall).
Please note that there is also a check for the StoreFront installation included, update the GUID according to the StoreFront version you are using (see above paragraph).

Summarization
In this third and last article I shared the unattended scripts including check of the installation of Citrix StoreFront and Citrix Director. In the first article the script of the Delivery Controller is described, while the second part exists of the unattended scripts for installing the VDA, the PVS Target Device software and the optimizations including RES One Automation Building Blocks.
