XenApp and XenDesktop

Fixed issues

Citrix Director

  • Citrix Director might show incorrect user session count information. [CVADHELP-14849]

Citrix Policy

  • The Policies > Assigned to tab might incorrectly display Citrix policies you assign to one or more delivery groups. For example, you assign a policy to two delivery groups and enable the assignment for only one of them. When you navigate to the Assigned to tab, both delivery groups are displayed. When you disable the policy, it becomes unassigned. But the Assigned to tab still displays the policy as assigned. [CVADHELP-15233]

  • When creating a policy in a Citrix Cloud environment and filter using the organizational unit for domain A, the user in domain B might not have the ability to log on. The issue occurs when accessing a published application or desktop. [[CVADHELP-17179]

Citrix Studio

  • This fix provides enhanced security by allowing only approved StoreFront and Citrix Gateway servers to communicate with the Delivery Controller. For more information, see Security keys. [CVADHELP-15729]

  • Attempts to add or delete virtual machines from the existing catalogs might fail. [CVADHELP-17316]

  • This fix provides enhanced security by allowing only approved StoreFront and Citrix Gateway servers to communicate with the Delivery Controller. For more information, see Security keys. [CVADHELP-15729]

  • When you delete machines or catalogs associated with an AWS hosting connection, EBS root devices might not be automatically deleted. The issue occurs because the flag DeleteOnTermination on the base image changes from $true to $false on disks created for those catalogs during machine catalog creation. [CVADHELP-16096]

  • The Citrix Broker Service (Brokerservice.exe) might become unresponsive and go offline. [CVADHELP-16352]

  • After upgrading XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 CU6 to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 1912 LTSR CU2, issues might occur when updating the database. The issue occurs when the AdminAccountName/AdminUpn entries are longer than 64 characters. [CVADHELP-17379]

  • Attempts to update catalogs with names containing special characters, such as & and $, might fail when the updated master image is not promoted to the VDAs. [CVADHELP-17686]

  • With both multi-site aggregation functionality configured and the “SessionReconnection” property set to SameEndPointOnly in the entitlement policy rule, a new session might be launched instead of reconnecting to the active session. [CVADHELP-17692]

Profile Management

  • Windows user credentials might remain after being removed from the Credential Manager. [CVADHELP-16083]

Provisioning Services

Provisioning Services 7.15 LTSR CU8 documentation provides specific information about the updates in this release.

StoreFront

  • This fix provides enhanced security by allowing only approved StoreFront and Citrix Gateway servers to communicate with the Delivery Controller. For more information, see Security keys. [CVADHELP-15729]

  • With socket pooling enabled, attempts to log on to StoreFront might fail with this error message:

    Cannot Complete your Request

    The issue occurs when there is a TCP dynamic port exhaustion.

    [CVADHELP-16625]

  • With both multi-site aggregation functionality configured and the SessionReconnection property set to SameEndPointOnly in the entitlement policy rule, a new session might be launched instead of reconnecting to the active session. [CVADHELP-16698]

  • When you attempt to launch a user session using Citrix StoreFront services API, the parameters passed to the launch request might be incorrect. [CVADHELP-16834]

Universal Print Server

Server

  • The Universal Print Server (UPServer.exe) might exit unexpectedly. The issue occurs because of the faulting module, prntvpt.dll. [CVADHELP-12651]

User Profile Management VDA

  • When you log on to a session, the user data might be deleted unexpectedly. The issue occurs when you change the file server address from path1 to path2 in the Citrix folder redirection path policy settings (for example, the Desktop path setting). But, path1 and path2 point to the same physical location. To prevent this issue, enable the Microsoft group policy setting Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting. For details, see the Description part of the Citrix folder redirection path policy settings. [CVADHELP-12439]

    • On 32-bit systems:

      HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\HdxRealTime

      Name: RetryNumToWaitWebcamArrival

      Type: DWORD

      Value: By default, the registry is absent. When the registry is absent or is not read, the default value of 1000 will be used. This value indicates the default wait time length which is 20 seconds. If the value is less than 1000, then the default value (1000) will be used.
