You're all overcomplicating this...
Use the Windows "AT" command to set up a scheduled task. This task launches a simple batch file, that runs a simple VBScript that launches the Windows disk defragmenter.
All simple... all free.... and all runs under local system privileges... no domain user...
....and you have specified the correct shadow permissions for these users at the Citrix level, within the Citrix Management Console?
FYI, Domain Admins do not have shadow permissions by default.
So in theory, it's bad practice to install applications with users on the server, right?"
Right. Very bad practice.
Do not under any circumstances install so much as even a hotfix with users logged into a Citrix server.
how is your DNS setup.... AD Integrated? For your DNS at location B, do you see an SRV record for domain controller B?

what DNS server or servers are your Citrix servers pointed at?
...and your subnets are associated with the correct site in Active Directory Sites and Services?
have you ran "dcdiag" on your domain controller in site B?

with "Access Based Enumeration" you only see the icons that you have permissions over. In other words... if a Notepad icon is in your Start Menu.. and you don't have permissions over it, you simply won't see it or know that it's even there....

or, you can schedule daily reboots of your citrix server, the reboot will logoff all connected sessions
a scheduled after hours reboot can often be the simplest solution... but if you really want to delete the profile in real time, you can try the following...
