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

  • In Citrix Director, machine usage in Director console > Trends > Machine Usage > Multi-session OS Machines appears as 0 (Zero) in the In Use column for all Delivery Groups. [CVADHELP-22498]
  • The Console link on Citrix Director > Machine Details does not launch the machine console in the Microsoft Edge 44 and Firefox 68 ESR browsers. [DIR-8160]

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:

    Invalid memory setting: Memory reservation (sched.mem.min) should be equal to memsize (94208). The virtual machine failed to start. Failed to turn on the MemSched module. Error parsing scheduler-specific configuration parameters.

    [CVADHELP-21052]

  • The vSAN 8 support is added to Machine Creation Services. [CVADHELP-23415]

Graphics

  • In the WebEx Citrix session, when you select Microsoft Media Foundation > Video capture, HDX Webcam generates a green image instead of the real video from the redirected WebCam. [CVADHELP-22494]

Microsoft Teams Optimization

  • Citrix HDX HTML5 Video Redirection Service (WebSocketService.exe) might exit unexpectedly while using Microsoft Teams. [CVADHELP-22561]

VDA for single-session OS

Installing, Uninstalling, Upgrading

  • When you upgrade Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 LTSR from CU1 to CU2, the values EnableVistaMousePointers, EnforceUserPolicyEvaluationSuccess, Flag, and CitrixDoD that were manually created under the following registry keys might disappear:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\PortICA

      Name: EnableVistaMousePointers

      Type: DWORD

      Value: 1

Keyboard

  • EDT MTU Discovery might calculate an incorrect MTU when paths between the VDA and the client are asymmetrical. As a result, the session launch is successful. However, the keyboard and the mouse are unresponsive. [CVADHELP-16654]

  • When you use a Russian keyboard layout on a macOS device connected to a VDA running Windows, the hotkeys might not work. [CVADHELP-17788]

  • When you switch between keyboard layouts such as United Kingdom and United States, intermittent language issues might occur with the keyboard in the session. [CVADHELP-23134]
