New Fixes in This Release

The following issues are fixed since the release of Provisioning Services 7.6.

Console Issues
Server Issues

Console Issues

  1. The XenDesktop Setup Wizard sets an invalid "default" generation ID when creating XenServer virtual machines.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LA5924]

  2. After completing the XenDesktop wizard, the Machine Catalog in Studio is empty and the streaming IP address appears instead of the management IP address, which is incorrect. To use the management IP address, set the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices
    Name: UseManagementIpInCatalog
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 1

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0125]

  3. When running the Streamed VM Setup Wizard to add VMs to a Device Collection and if a hosting entry uses a different case format, the following error message appears:

    "To avoid creating a duplicate key, the Add or Set command was cancelled" 
    Details:- 
    Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.VirtualHostingPool' with unique index 'IDX_VirtualHostingPoolSiteIdName'. The duplicate key value is (18df503c-c745-452a-89aa-3bbf431c7b33, livsvmv01.livdc.local).
    The statement has been terminated.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0348]

  4. The Xen Desktop Setup Wizard does not use the template boot properties when creating targets. To fix this, create the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices 
    Name: UseTemplateBootOrder 
    Type:REG_DWORD 
    Data: 1

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0382]

  5. When running the Streamed VM Setup Wizard, some Active Directory organizational units (OUs) might not appear in the wizard if the OU name contains special characters.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0393]

  6. Attempts to map a disk on the Provisioning Service server by using either MCLI.exe or the command "mcli-runwithreturn mapdisk -p disklocatorName=MyDiskLocatorName, sitename=MySiteName, storeName=MyStoreName" fail and the following error message appears:

    Object Reference not set to an instance of an object (MCLI command)

    Attempts to run the command "mcli-run unmapdisk" fails and shows the error message "An unexpected MAPI error occurred."

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0786]

  7. When trying to create machines by using the XenDesktop Setup Wizard, the hard drive and the virtual DVD drives are placed in difference storage volumes, even though the hosting unit can only access one volume.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0918]

  8. If the Desktop Delivery Controller contains a port number in the uniform resource identifier (URI), when the XenDesktop Setup Wizard runs, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) stops responding.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1248]

  9. The XenDesktop Setup Wizard fails when one of the Cluster Shared Volumes does not contain the StorageDisk location.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1807]

  10. In some environments, when using the Provisioning Services 7.x bootstrap file, it can take a long time to start many target devices together.

    Note: The issue can also occur in situations where a high load does not exist.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1839]

  11. If the account used to log on to the Provisioning Services console is not the same account used to install Provisioning Services, running the XenDesktop Setup Wizard fails with the following error:

    "Cannot connect to the XenDesktop controller at <address>. Some or all identity references could not be translated."

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1952]

  12. In a Microsoft SCVMM environment, the XenDesktop Setup wizard does not assign a static MAC address to a non-streaming network adapter when the MAC address type in the template is static.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2459]

  13. When running the XenDesktop Setup Wizard, not all virtual machines are created if the number of standard and PvD storages are not equal.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2496]

  14. The XenDesktop Setup Wizard creates ESX virtual machine metadata in one store, instead of distributing the metadata with the different disks created for the virtual machine.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2549]

  15. When creating virtual machines in XenServer by using the XenDesktop Setup Wizard, the template setting with the GPU assigned might not be retained.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2859]

    "Invalid Subnet mask."

    • Renames the PVP file, if it exists.
    • Creates an XML file based on the renamed chain that allows the renamed disk to be imported by the Provisioning Services console.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC0941]

  9. When upgrading Provisioning Services from Version 7.1 to 7.6, if you run the dbscript.exe generator that is provided with Provisioning Services and is used to create an SQL script to upgrade the Provisioning Services database version, an error appears and the generated script is truncated.

  12. When adding Dynamic vDisks to stores, the server reports an incorrect Replication Status after adding the Dynamic vDisk to the second store.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1428]

  13. When copying and pasting properties between two virtual disks, the load balancing settings are not pasted on the second disk.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1498]

  14. The Stream Service fails when starting and stopping the service.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1664]

  15. The Powershell MCLI command "Mcli-Get DeviceInfo" returns an empty value in the "Status" field.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1790]

  16. After installing Provisioning Services Console version 7.1.3, many .NET applications fail on Windows Server 2008 R2 and on Windows 7.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1838]

  17. When configuring VMware PXE Manager for vCenter, if a default gateway IP address is not provided as part of the DHCP options, the bootstrap protocol incorrectly sets the gateway IP address (GIADDR) to the Relay Agent IP address.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1966]

  18. The target device can experience delays on Microsoft Hyper-V when any key is pressed in the disk menu.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC1997]

  19. When the number of target devices increase on Microsoft Hyper-V, some targets fail to start and stop responding at the "Starting Windows" screen.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2011]

  20. Occasionally, the Stream Service process stops responding when multiple target devices shut down.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2141]

  21. If there are unresponsive threads, the Stream Service process cannot recover after automatically restarting.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2227]

  22. If there are two Provisioning Servers configured to use the TFTP Service option and if NetScaler load balances the servers, if you increase the frequency of monitor probes to run faster than the default time of five seconds, memory consumption on bntftp.exe can increase to 7.5 gigabytes.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2314]

  23. If a static IP address is assigned when running Boot Device Manager, after saving the .iso image the first time and then incrementing the IP address, subsequent attempts to save a new image overwrites the existing file.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2619]

  24. The Soap Server might close unexpectedly when restarting the Provisioning Server.

    [From PVS760Server_ConsoleWX64001][#LC2750]

  25. Attempts to use MAK activation for Microsoft Windows can fail and the following error message appears:

    "Confirmation ID not retrieved, check internet access."

    The issue occurs in scenarios where Microsoft Office is installed on the vDisk and the record of the Office product exists in the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) database. During activation, the "Install-VamtproductKey" command attempts to install the Windows product key for both Windows and Office and then returns the same error. With this fix, Office is not included in in MAK activation.

    Additionally, the result of the "Get-VamtConfirmationId" command is saved in the incorrect location so the same error also occurs when Microsoft Office is installed on the vDisk. With this fix, the result of the "Get-VamtConfirmationId" command is saved in the correct location.

    Note: This fix does not provide support for Microsoft Office MAK. Provisioning Services does not support MAK for Office. The only supported way of installing Office on a PVS image is to use the Key Management Service (KMS) for both Windows and Office.
