New Fixes in This Release

1. Application enumeration fails for applications that use a 32-bit PNG icon for the application shortcut. To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both a XenApp and a Delivery Services Console hotfix that contains Fix #259922.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64004][#259922]

2. The Get-XASession PowerShell command, used without the -full argument, incorrectly returns a 32-bit color depth.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64004][#LA1126]

3. Attempts to publish streamed applications can fail with just-in-time errors. The issue occurs with applications such as Corel PaintShop Pro that use fully transparent icons.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64004][#LA1468]

Fixes from Replaced Hotfixes

1. Load Balancing Policy filters might not work when created through the Set-XALoadBalancingPolicyFilter PowerShell Cmdlet.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64002][#241115]

2. Custom administrators created using cmdlets cannot run XenApp cmdlets. As a result, such custom administrators cannot view session or application information for the farm.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64002][#245046]

3. The Add-XAAutoReplicatedPrinterDriver cmdlet takes a parameter named sourceservername. However, "get-help add-xaautoreplicatedprinterdriver – examples" incorrectly states that the cmdlet takes a parameter named servername.

   [From DSCXACmd600W2K8R2X64003][#260210]
