Important Notes about This Release

  • Important: On systems where Windows Installer 4.5 was installed manually rather than as part of a Windows update, a console upgraded with this release fails to launch. As a workaround, uninstall the existing Delivery Services Console before upgrading to this release. The issue is not present with fresh installs of the console from this release.

  • Before installing or upgrading from an earlier version of this component, you must install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable package, unless present. Failure to do so can cause the console to exit unexpectedly.

  • Caution! This release may require you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

New Fixes in This Release

  1. Policies can be lost. This happens when the policy file is corrupted and truncated as a result of high memory consumption by Delivery Services Console or PowerShell, which can occur when you modify policies in scenarios with a large number of configured policies.

    To enable this fix, install both a Delivery Services Console hotfix (DSCXAMX600W011 or its replacement) and a Group Policy Management Console hotfix (DSCXAGPMx100WX86012; DSCXAGPMx100WX64012, or their replacements) that contains Fix #LA5385.

    [From DSCXAMx600W011][#LA5385]

  2. Attempts to publish Mozilla Firefox 28 and later versions in XenApp can fail with the following error message:

    "System.NotSupportedException: Data is not in ICO format"

    [From DSCXAMx600W011][#LC0402]

Fixes from Replaced Hotfixes

  1. In the French language version of the Delivery Services Console, color depth information is inconsistent between application properties and read-only properties.

    [From DSCXAMx600W001][#234449]

  2. In the Japanese version of the product, color depth information is inconsistent among application properties and read-only properties.

    [From DSCXAMx600W001][#240105]

  3. Applications that are launched as streamed to client might not appear under the Users tab of the farm properties in the Delivery Services Console.

    [From DSCXAMx600W001][#241885]

  4. The Configuration Logging Database cannot be configured if the name of the database contains an equal (=) character.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#236996]

  5. The console displays the Session Printer policy incorrectly if the name of a shared printer configured on the print server starts with 0 (zero).

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#245718]

  6. Attempts to modify the icon for a published application from the Delivery Services Console can fail and the following error message appears:

    "Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: …"

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#254835]

  7. New XenApp policies and changes to existing XenApp policies are not saved if policies are being created or modified from multiple consoles by different administrators at the same time.

    With this fix, the latter console produces an error message when trying to save new or modified policies. To enable this fix in its entirety, you must also install a server hotfix that contains Fix #256226.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#256226]

  8. This fix prevents data store inconsistencies that can result from deleting a streamed to server application from the Delivery Services Console.

    Notes:

    • To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both a XenApp and a Delivery Services Console hotfix that contains Fix #257489.
    • To identify the stale entries or errors, run the dscheck /full apps command.
    • To remove stale entries in the streamed to server application, run the dscheck /full apps /Clean command.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#257489]

  9. The Delivery Services Console displays a negative value if the size of the peak working set exceeds 2 GB.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#260739]

  10. An icon error can cause attempts to publish Sage FRP Treasury to fail.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#LA0096]

  11. The Client ID in the Connected users view is always displayed as 0 (zero).

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#LA0281]

  12. Hotfixes are listed twice in the hotfix inventory list of the Delivery Services Console.

    [From DSCXAMx600W002][#LA0291]

  13. Configuring the printer policies might take up to eight minutes per policy change. As a result, the console might become unresponsive while changing the printer policy.

    To enable this fix:

    1. Install both a Delivery Services Console hotfix (DSCXAMX600W003 or its replacement) and a Group Policy Management Console hotfix (DSCXAGPMx100WX86005; DSCXAGPMx100WX64005, or their replacements) that contains Fix #257255.
    2. Migrate the old printer policies to the new printer assignment policy using a PowerShell script, available for download in Knowledge Center article CTX132168. However, some of the new printer policies might not require any action.

    [From DSCXAMx600W003][#257255]

  14. When viewing session information on a server, the Delivery Services Console might display the following error message:

    "An error occurred. Try performing the task again. If the problem persists, contact support."

    [From DSCXAMx600W003][#LA0608]

  15. 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 DSCXAMx600W005][#259922]

  16. The Delivery Services Console might become unresponsive while deleting the renamed application.

    [From DSCXAMx600W005][#LA1141]

  17. 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 DSCXAMx600W005][#LA1468]

  18. When running multiple applications sharing the same session, attempts to shadow applications from the Delivery Services Console can fail for all but the most recent application launched, and the following error message appears:

    An error occurred. Try performing the task again. If the problem persists, contact support.

    [From DSCXAMx600W006][#LA0944]

  19. Attempts to publish certain applications in the Delivery Services Console/AppCenter can fail, resulting in the following unhandled exception:

    "System.NotSupportedException: Data is not in ICO format"

    [From DSCXAMx600W006][#LA2075]

  20. In farms consisting of more than two servers, an error can occur while attempting to publish an application using the application publishing wizard. The issue occurs when an administrator whose user profile does not contain a "Links" folder or does not have write permissions to the "Links" folder (for example, C:\Users\administrator\Links) is browsing for an executable to be published.

    [From DSCXAMx600W006][#LA2720]

  21. When selecting a published application in the tree view of the Delivery Services Console while the Current Settings tab is active, the contents of the Current Settings tab fail to be updated automatically.

    [From DSCXAMx600W007][#LA3150]

  22. The usage of certain custom icons for published applications can stop application enumeration and the following error message appears when attempting to log on to Web Interface: "The system could not log you on. Ensure that you entered your details correctly and try again. If you are still unable to log on, contact your system administrator as your credentials may be invalid or there may be a problem with the authentication system."

    To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both a XenApp hotfix and a XenApp Management Experience hotfix that contains Fix #LA3476.

    [From DSCXAMx600W008][#LA3476]

  23. AppCenter displays Organizational Units (OUs) from different domains as "Unknown item" plus a GUID.

    [From DSCXAMx600W010][#LA2037]

  24. Attempts to publish certain third party applications can fail and the console exits unexpectedly with the following error message:

    "System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream."

    The issue occurs because the application stores its icon in the .exe file.

    [From DSCXAMx600W010][#LA4276]

  25. With a high number of Citrix user policies already in place, the creation of each additional policy can take several minutes to be saved.

    Note: To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both Hotfixes DSCXAMx600W010 and DSCXAGPMx100WX86011/DSCXAGPMx100WX64011 (or their replacement hotfixes).

    [From DSCXAMx600W010][#LA4665]
