Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Fixed issues

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2308 includes the following fixed issues:

General

  • After you upgrade to Citrix Studio version 2303 from an earlier version, uninstalling it might not work as expected. The Citrix Studio components like registries and files remain in the system and might be visible in the Add Programs or Remove Programs list. [XAXDINST-1054]

  • If the Session Recording agent is not installed on the VDA and you run Get-BrokerSessionRecordingStatus, Start-BrokerSessionRecording, and Stop-BrokerSessionRecording PowerShell commands, then the VDA deregisters and registers again with the Delivery Controller within a few seconds. This action has no impact on the existing sessions. If the Session Recording agent is installed on the VDA, the PowerShell commands work without issue. [BRK-14727]

Citrix Director

Citrix Policy

  • Attempts to apply Citrix user policies on different domains might fail when you upgrade a VDA to version LTSR CU7. [CVADHELP-22992]

Delivery Controller

  • When the reserved memory is lesser than the configured memory, attempts to power on a virtual machine might fail with this error message:
