-
When several USB devices are redirected to a session, one of them might not work correctly. [CVADHELP-12516]
-
The default audio device in a session might not be the same as the default one on a user device. In the session, the first device on the audio device list becomes the default. [CVADHELP-13324]
-
In a site where XenApp and XenDesktop Version 7.15 LTSR Cumulative Update 4 runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2016, when you attempt to launch a published application, the application session might become unresponsive. This error message appears:
Please wait for Local Session Manager
[CVADHELP-13967]
-
If SAS notification is enabled, a user with multiple monitors connecting to an existing session at the console might find the monitor layout is not restored correctly. For example, if the right monitor is 1 and selected as the main monitor and the left monitor is 2, the user might find the positions swapped when reconnecting. This issue affects only RemotePC users with a physical desktop. This is due to incompatibility between two features.
To enable the fix, set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Graphics
Name: UseSDCForLocalModes
Type: DWORD
Value: 1
[CVADHELP-14249]
-
VDAs might unregister intermittently when IPv6 is enabled. [CVADHELP-14847]
-
This fix provides a timer to send a small datagram over a UDP connection to keep the connection alive between the host and the client.
To enable the fix, set the registry key as follows:
-
For 32-bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Audio
Name: KeepAliveTimer
Type: DWORD
Value: Indicates the wait time interval (in seconds) between keep-alive messages. If left empty or set to 0, no keep-alive packets are sent and the keep-alive feature does not work. The recommended value is 15.
-
For 64-bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\Audio
Name: KeepAliveTimer
Type: DWORD
Value: Indicates the wait time interval (in seconds) between keep-alive messages. If left empty or set to 0, no keep-alive packets are sent and the keep-alive feature does not work. The recommended value is 15.
[CVADHELP-15122]

-
With the CtxUvi Hooking driver disabled, event logs might not be generated. The issue occurs when available system resources are low. [CVADHELP-15241]
-
This fix provides support to a new feature that lets you configure multiple forest deployments without enabling NTLM authentication on VDAs. However, the previous feature for enabling NTLM authentication is reserved for other deployments without trusts. A registry entry named SupportMultipleForestDdcLookup is added to avoid unwanted enabling of NTLM authentication on VDAs. (NTLM is less secure than Kerberos.) You can use SupportMultipleForestDdcLookup instead of the SupportMultipleForest entry. You can continue to use SupportMultipleForest for backward compatibility. The SupportMultipleForestDdcLookup registry key determines how VDAs perform delivery controller lookups. For more information, see Deploy in a multiple Active Directory forest environment. [CVADHELP-15467]
-
When a VDA attempts to register with a Delivery Controller, the broker agent performs an initial DNS lookup in the local domain. This lookup ensures that the Delivery Controller is reachable. When the DNS lookup fails, the broker agent falls back to performing top-down queries in Active Directory, repeatedly performing searches in all domains. If the address of the Delivery Controller is invalid (for example, the administrator typed the FQDN incorrectly when installing the VDA), the query operations can cause DDoS-like results on the domain controller. For more information, see Controller search during VDA registration. [CVADHELP-15484]
-
With the time zone policy set to Use server time zone, the client-side time zone might still get redirected on a VDA through a user session. [CVADHELP-15628]
-
With the legacy graphics mode policy enabled, a gray screen might appear when you launch a session. This issue occurs with VDA version 7.15.6000. [CVADHELP-15841]
-
On Server VDI VDAs, the power button on the Start menu might not offer the Disconnect option. [CVADHELP-16595]
System Exceptions
-
After you upgrade a VDA from Version 7.15 Cumulative Update 5 to Cumulative Update 6 or Version 2003, the Group Policy engine (CseEngine.exe) service might exit unexpectedly. [CVADHELP-14515]
-
The Citrix Audio Redirection Service (CtxAudioSvc) might exit unexpectedly with an Event ID 1000 and an exception code 0x0c0000005. The issue occurs because of the faulting module, CtxVorbisDmo64.dll. [CVADHELP-14898]
-
VDAs might experience a fatal exception on picadm.sys and display a blue screen with bug check code APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (1). The issue occurs when you attempt to access a mapped client drive. [CVADHELP-15003]
-
VDAs might experience a fatal exception on tdica.sys and display a blue screen with bug check code 0x1000007e. The issue occurs when you launch a session through Citrix Workspace app for HTML5. [CVADHELP-15220]
-
VDAs might experience a fatal exception on picadm.sys and display a blue screen with bug check code 0x93 (INVALID_KERNEL_HANDLE). [CVADHELP-15326]
-
When you attempt to view embedded Windows Media files from a web application, Internet Explorer might exit unexpectedly. The issue occurs because of the faulting module, HostMMTransport.dll. [CVADHELP-15598]
