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.

For this installation I will use my current DHCP server, Microsoft SQL 2012 server and Citrix License server which are installed on a separate server.

After making all the changes, you needed to put the vDisk back to Standard Image mode and copy the complete vDisk to the rest of the Provisioning Services servers.

After installing and configuring Citrix Provisioning Services Server (as described here) and the Citrix XenApp 6.5 Controller (as described here) it’s time to create the Citrix XenApp vDisk, also known as the “Golden disk”, for the Citrix XenApp 6.5 running in Session-host mode only.
