New Features<\/h3>\n

Citrix has released XenApp and XenDesktop 7.12, which, along with many other enhancements, includes the much anticipated return of Local Host Cache (LHC).\u00a0 Although LHC shares the name as the XenApp 6.5 implementation, it is implemented completely differently and tasks such as periodic dsmaint and the randomized corruptions should be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Admins can read about the feature here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to LHC, other totally awesome enhancements include multiple restart schedules for delivery groups\u00a0 This can be combined with the new \u201cTag Restriction\u201d feature that allows application and delivery groups\u00a0 to be \u201csubdivided\u201d into smaller groups, effectively giving us the flexibility of worker groups entirely through tags.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that in 7.11, automatic install and upgrade of Citrix Insight Services was enabled by default and disabled in the CLI and now the GUI and<\/em><\/strong> CLI are enabled by default.\u00a0 The auto-upload can be disabled in the registry or using the CLI option.\u00a0 When installing a Windows VDA, the CEIP is also automatically enrolled.\u00a0 If you want to opt out of those settings consult the Citrix Insight Services article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enterprise customers see increased historical data from 7 days to 31 days in director.<\/p>\n

See the complete \u201cWhat\u2019s new<\/a>\u201d for more.<\/p>\n

Notable Fixes<\/h3>\n

\u201c&\u201d is now supported in application names<\/p>\n

Machine Creation Services (MCS) created machines do not honor machine account password GPOs, causing passwords on the MCS machines to not reset.<\/p>\n

Deprecation<\/h3>\n
