Provisioning Services12 comments

In the last week of 2015 Citrix released Provisioning Services 7.7. One of the best new features is that it is now official supporting Windows 10 (Enterprise and Professional Edition) as target device. Another cool new feature is that you can do an in-place upgrade (from version 7.6.1 or higher) and thus reverse-imaging belongs to the past! In this blog I will show you step-by-step how to install the Console, the Provisioning Services Server itself, the Target device installation, and how to make a new vDisk. Of course I will use a Windows 10 target device.
