Last Friday Citrix Provisioning Services 6.1 and XenDesktop 5.6 came out and now
it is time to update the LAB and make sure it doesnt erupt in flames.
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX131938 (PVS 6.1 Release Notes)
One thing that I found out from 6.0 to 6.1 that was super awesome was that it
finally did a inline upgrade. I didnt have to do something that has been kind of
weird since Ardence and Citrix has bought the technology where you have to
uninstall the software then just install it and it would just install and see the old
database and it would be fine. I had complained in the past about this weird
process and it looks like it has finally happened.
Upgrading a exiting PVS 6.0 Deployment (I will also test 5.6 a couple other
versions later)
Backup the Database! 1.

Citrix (Can we glue all three of these together so I just have to click install once
instead of three installs and three finishes.)

Wohoo. The number one thing that fails here normally is Configuring Services
which is usually a bad Username or Password or it couldnt configure or
reconfigure the service account for Database access.

Dont forget to update your PVS Console. 38.

I rebooted the server just to be sure it was happy. 48.

So far I havent seen any major problems so far. Now all I have to do is update
the target devices. We will see if that process is more streamlined in a later article.
Make sure and dont forget this if you have XenDesktop. Make sure you use the
XenDesktop setup wizard to make new Streamed Catalogs and do not make them
from the Desktop Studio because it could lead to yuckyness in the database.
BUG0278019 In a streamed XenDesktop environment, the preferred mechanism
for creating streamed desktop catalogs is to use the XenDesktop Setup Wizard,
which is available from the Provisioning Services Console. While the XenDesktop
Desktop Studio console also provides a mechanism to create streamed catalogs by
importing information from Provisioning Services, it is not the preferred
mechanism because using it can lead to duplicate desktops being created in
multiple catalogs (an unsupported configuration). To avoid this, only create new
catalogs using the XenDesktop Setup Wizard, and only use the streamed catalog
creation mechanism in Desktop Studio if you are reconstructing a catalog from
previously created VMs.
