Release: Citrix VDI-in-a-Box 5.4

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013

Hello Folks,

if you already using Citrix VDI-in-a-Box you should get a look on the new release 5.4 which comes with couple of new cool features:

– Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2 Hyper-V incl. shared storage
– Support for Windows 8.1 virtual desktops
– Support for VMWare vSphere ESXi 5.5 as Hypervisor
– Build-in HTML5 device support (Browser needs to support it)
– Much improved SSL certificate handling
– Follow me Desktop (shared/dedicated User accounts)
– Improved VM image/template handling
– Remote Assistance support
– Support for multiple AD’s
– Storefront Smart Card support if Storefront is used (seperate download!)
– Wizard based upgrade path to XenDesktop 7 if required

I will test it soon together with the IGEL Linux V5 🙂

Cheers

Michael

Tip: Fixing RDP session issues with IGEL Linux V5.x.x

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013

Hello Folks,

it might happen that you run into issues with RDP Sessions in the new IGEL Linux, this is currently very rare but in the case that a RDP Session did not work for you anymore after you have updated from IGEL Linux V4 to V5 you should try the setting RDP Legacy Mode. You will find this setting in the Setup->Sessions->RDP->RDP Global->Options.

If this fixes the issue for you i recommend to contact IGEL and provide some details about your Remote Desktop Services setup.

Cheers

Michael

P.S.: I got this only two times, so from my point it’s really rare but it might help. 😉
