Good News: Citrix knows that uninstall of the VDA is a problem, for that reason there exists theīad News: VDACleanupUtility.exe (VCU) should run as a User, need a reboot and login with the same user, what means it’s not in a easy way to automate that. Uninstall of Citrix VDA fails most of the times!.It’s not possible to update Windows 10 from one version to the other when a Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) is installed!.

I was curious who is in the same boat, so I created this poll:ģ6% are doing fresh install of dedicated desktops? Wow … BOFH? 🙂 But an fresh install of the dedicated desktops where users have installed their own stuff will get me into big troubles … it’s really not an option! For our pooled desktops it’s no question, fresh install on the new build. Now our story goes into the next round, we installed Windows 10 last year with the 1511 Release and we want to go now to the anniversary update (1607).

I talked about this adventure on E2EVC in Rome: The stony road of a VDI migration from Win7 to Win10 Next chapter To be in the role as early-adopter with such a new operating systems is interesting but also nerve-racking on some days… Especially when you add Citrix XenDesktop on top to Windows 10 and then also special requirements like physical and virtual Smart Cards. We have two different kind of VDIs, pooled Win10 Desktops provided by Citrix PVS and also classical installed dedicated VDIs.

The company I’m working for, Die Mobiliar, started early with Windows 10, we rolled out in spring 2016 Windows 10 to all our physical devices and also to our virtual Desktops.
