Existing Delivery Group

[Jim McKelvie1709159887]

I have an existing delivery group with all my apps and permissions created. The VDA's within this group are 2008R2. I want to replace these with Windows Server 2016 VDA's.

So... I remove the 2008R2 VDA's and add the 2016 ones. Attempt to launch an app and it fails, I 've checked the application program paths within the app and they're the same.

At a loss, anyone had a similar experience and if so did you resolve?

 

thanks.

you should probably just create a new delivery group - you can pull settings from the old and add to the new via powershell as required if its complex

Hi

Did you check if the Windows Server 2016 VDA's is registred? 

What is version of Citrix Virtual Apps?

[Jim McKelvie1709159887]

Hi, my new Vdas register fine. 

The vda version is 7.15 CU2 and virtual apps is the same version.

Hi,

 

 

So after creating the VDA have you set the proper functional level?

 

if that also done.

 

Try one machine clean VDI removal with VDACleanupUtility and install the latest. also try to post the screen shot of the error

As James said, you can create a new delivery group and try again.

Thanks all, the way I'm doing it is with a new delivery group containing the 2016 servers, and then modifying the existing application to point it at the new delivery group and remove the old one, then rebooting the VDA's, all working fine now :-)
