The latest versions of XenApp also come with a Health Monitoring and Recovery (HMR) agent – Citrix recommends leveraging the default health check tests and the additional HMR tests that can be downloaded for free on Citrix‟s website here.

The recommended settings is taken from a presentation held at Synergy 2009 by Citrix.

After the installation remember to run the command : C:Program FilesCitrixSystem32lhctestaclsutil.exe. If you don’t you will get CitrixHealthMon Event 2005 in your logs. More information in the CTX117540 article and in the Citrix Online Product Documentation.

I’ve created a script for silent installation :
