This article describes the requirements to create non-domain-joined catalogs using Citrix DaaS in addition to the requirements outlined in the Citrix DaaS system requirements section.

Requirements

Control plane: See Supported Configurations
VDA type: Single-session (desktops only) or multi-session (apps and desktops)
VDA version: 2203 or later
Provisioning type: Machine Creation Services (MCS), Persistent and Non-persistent
Assignment type: Dedicated and pooled
Hosting platform: All platforms supported by MCS
Rendezvous V2 must be enabled
Cloud Connectors: Only required if you plan to provision machines on on-premises hypervisors or if you want to use Active Directory as the identity provider in Workspace.

Limitations

Service continuity is not supported.
Whenever we use a multi session non domain joined VDA, the local user’s profile data is not retained and is deleted on logoff.

VDA installation and configuration

Follow the steps for installing the VDA:

Make sure to select the following options in the installation wizard:
- In the Environment page, select Create a master MCS image.
- In the Delivery Controller page, select Let Machine Creation Services do it automatically.
After the VDA is installed, add the following registry value:
- Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\VirtualDesktopAgent
- Value type: DWORD
- Value name: GctRegistration
- Value data: 1

Where to go next

Once the resource location and hosting connection are available, proceed to create the machine catalog. For more information on creating non-domain-joined machine catalogs, see Create non-domain-joined catalogs.
