Citrix Provisioning

What’s new

This release of Citrix Provisioning includes the enhancements described in the following sections. It includes several fixes for issues seen in past releases, and new issues that we’ve identified.

Support for Windows Server 2016 in Citrix Provisioning on Azure

Citrix Provisioning now supports Windows Server 2016 on Azure.

Support for Windows 11 in Citrix Provisioning on Azure

Citrix Provisioning now supports Windows 11 on Azure Standard security type. Security type refers to the different security features available for a virtual machine. You can select the security type when you create a VM on Azure console.

Configuration wizard changes for database credentials

The Configuration wizard now always prompts for database administrator credentials, and uses those credentials to configure the provisioning database. You can now select Active Directory Integrated authentication when providing database administrator credentials, which accesses the provisioning database as the current logged in user.

Azure Marketplace

Citrix Provisioning does not support Azure Marketplace images with plan information. For more information, see Citrix Provisioning on Microsoft Azure.

Support for both Customer Managed and Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers natively from the same Citrix Provisioning Console

Citrix Provisioning now supports working with both customer managed and Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers natively from the same Citrix Provisioning Console. It no longer uses the five PowerShell snap-ins for communicating with on-premises Delivery Controller. There is also no need to manually uninstall or reinstall PowerShell modules to switch between on-premises and cloud Delivery Controllers.

While running the Citrix Virtual Desktops Setup and Citrix Provisioning Devices Export Wizard, you can now select either Citrix Cloud or Customer-Managed Control Plane Delivery Controller.
