So, time for a quick License server upgrade. From the XenApp 7.6 media let’s launch the license server installer: So now we’ve upgraded our license server, let’s restart the XenApp upgrade wizard (it didn’t want to re-scan the license server mid-upgrade). We now reach the Firewall configuration page. The 11.11.1 build 13012 licensing server in the environment did not support XenDesktop 7.6 so the first item I had to do was upgrade the existing licensing server. The good news is that if you forget to do this step, you will get a warning as you attempt to upgrade the delivery controllers. Migrating Citrix XenApp 6.5 data store database from one SQL server to another. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post for migrating Citrix a XenApp 6.5 data store database from one SQL server to another as this is quite common to do whether it’s due to server refreshes, disaster recovery or other similar situations. Download the media from http://www.citrix.com/downloads.html first. It’s a 2.8 GB ISO called “XenApp_and_XenDesktop7_5.iso”. 1. Extract the media and and click AutoSelect.exe. Make sure you are logged into the server using a service account that has rights to the SQL server you plan on installing the SQL database to. 2. One of the most interesting developments (for me) is that you can now perform an in-place upgrade from a XenApp 6.5 worker server to the XenApp 7.6 VDA. New PowerShell scripts can export your 6.5 farm policies and application, and import them into your 7.6 site. On the SQL Server that has the Site database, open the SQL Server Management Studio, expand Databases, right-click the Site database, click Properties and click Options in the left pane. Simple Recovery Model. Change the Recovery model to Full and click OK. If you install the first XenApp/XenDesktop in the site you do not have a lot of choices and you should start from installing Delivery Controller for your site. After choosing component you need to accept license agreement. In next step you can choose which core components would you like to install on that server. Citrix have released a new version of Citrix XenDesktop & XenApp 7.6. This is a major release that contains new version of many new software components. I have in this article included all new product releases to give you an overview what is released related to XenDesktop & XenApp 7.6 solution.
