What's new and upcoming with Citrix technology and features

This feature enables the use of Session Launch Diagnostics starting with the user name if you don’t have the transaction ID. This feature is specifically useful for help desk administrators to triage a failed session if the end user hasn’t captured the transaction id. You can search for a user name, and select a session to triage from a list of failed sessions that the user attempted to launch over the last 48 hours. The Session Launch Diagnostics page shows the details of the failed session. It lists the exact component and stage where the failure occurred. For more information, see the Session Launch Diagnostics article.

The Session Details page from Citrix Analytics for Performance is now integrated in Monitor. Click View Session Timeline in the Sessions page in Monitor to view the Sessions Details page from Citrix Analytics for Performance within Monitor.

With this feature, you can now change the configurations specific to an individual persistent VM such as VM size, which will overwrite catalog level configuration.

Currently, if a VM loses AD domain trust, you can delete, recreate, or rejoin the VM manually. With this feature, you can repair AD domain trust through a PowerShell command. This implementation is applicable to both persistent and non-persistent machine catalogs.

With this feature, when you power off a persistent Citrix Hypervisor VM and put the VM in maintenance mode, you can request to reset the OS disk.

With this feature, in Google Cloud virtualization environments, you can now reset the OS disk of a persistent VM to the latest master image in an MCS created machine catalog.

This feature enables API requests to tunnel through the Citrix Cloud Connector instead of going directly to the Azure public endpoint.

With this feature, you can now use an instance template as machine profile input, in addition to VM and OS disk. 

Federated Authentication Service (FAS) officially supports Venafi Zero touch PKI and HID PKIaaS.

When you create a catalog to provision machines using Machine Creation Services (MCS) in VMware environments, you can now use a machine profile to capture properties such as tags, folder ID, and vSAN storage policy, from a virtual machine and apply them to the newly provisioned VMs in the catalog.
