Image Personalization - Citrix Desktop Service

[Matthias-Schlimm]

If we booting up the streamed target devices with PVS, the VDA is sucessfull registered on the Controller but the machine itself sometimes not ready with the WEM Cache to recreate the Cache or other things to get the Machine ready.

 

The user can logged in earlier to this VM through Receicer

 

It's possible to set the "Citrix Desktop Service" to Starttype Manual on our Master Image and start the service first, if the personalization is finished ?

 

I't should work, but other dependencies ?

I have left an message also on the blog.

 

the Tool is tested on Win7 / 10 only. It's planned to integrate this great tool in future XD Releases ?

 

It should work on Server 2016 also, but it's supported ?

On a Windows Server 2016 layered image the desktop helper service appears to crash on boot leaving the broker agent service disabled and the VDA unregistered.

we have adopt this functionality in our Base Image Script Framework (BIS-F) 6.1.0, the Beta is available on http://eucweb.com and the public release will be comming soon
