Changing Delivery Controller addresses on VDA

This weekend the NetScaler gateway on one of our offices failed, rendering the office users unable to connect to their resources. I wanted to repoint all those users to the Delivery Controllers of a different office where the NetScaler was working, and ask users to temporarily connect via that. 

I had to two two things basically. 1) Change a registry key to repoint the VDA to the other Delivery Controllers. 2) Restart the VDA service (these machines were running 5.6(!!) so it’s called the Workstation Agent). 

# Change the registry key
> reg add \\<computer>\HKLM\Software\Citrix\VirtualDesktopAgent /v ListOfDDCs /t REG_SZ /d "dc01 dc02"
Value ListOfDDCs exists, overwrite(Yes/No)? y

# Stop Service
> sc \\<computer> stop WorkstationAgent

# Start Service (wait a bit before doing this)
> sc \\<computer> start WorkstationAgent
