VDA Upgrade Service

In order to take advantage of the latest features and functionality, administrators must upgrade VDAs regularly, which can often be a manual or time-consuming process. With VDA upgrade service, available with Citrix DaaS entitlements, admins can now quickly push VDA upgrades to individual persistent machines, remote PC Access VDAs, and entire machine catalogs in minutes via Web Studio or PowerShell. This time-saving feature supports any cloud or hypervisor, as well as non-domain joined machines, AAD joined on top of AD-joined machines, and Citrix HDX Plus for Windows 365 VDAs, as long as the catalog is persistent.
