Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed since Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2402 LTSR CU2 :

Citrix Director

  • In Director 2402 LTSR, you cannot set up an SMTP server in the GUI if the password is longer than 50 characters. [CVADHELP-27622]
  • In Director version 2407 and later, the console does not display in French—even if you set your browser language to fr-CA or fr-FR. [CVADHELP-27251]
  • You may see “No records to show” instead of disconnected or inactive sessions when clicking the “Show all resources” button in the “Select a session” view in Citrix Director 2402. [CVADHELP-26650]
  • In Citrix Director, administrators may see an intermittent error when accessing the Machines or Sessions filters. The issue is caused by a failure in the AtomValueUtils.ConvertStringToPrimitive method.[CVADHELP-26648]

Citrix Policy

  • When you manage group policies using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), the “VDA upgrade proxy configuration” setting might be unavailable for editing, even after installing CitrixGroupPolicyManagement_x64.msi from version 2411 or earlier. [CVADHELP-27691]
  • After hibernation, you may notice that the VDA doesn’t apply domain-configured GPOs, leading to policy misalignment upon reinitialization. [CVADHELP-27660]

Citrix Studio

  • When one Delivery Controller is shut down in a redundant setup, you may be unable to sign in to Web Studio from the remaining controller. This issue occurs in version 2402 LTSR and displays the message: “Unable to sign in. Please try again later.” [CVADHELP-27270]
  • When creating machine catalog via webstudio, an exception might be raised. The issue is not seen in MMC studio. [CVADHELP-27207]
