Automated installation of Session Recording server from Session Recording service

Citrix Session Recording service allows you to install Session Recording servers from within the cloud and allocate sites to the servers.

Previously, you could connect only existing Session Recording servers to the Session Recording service. The new feature enables you to connect any machine to the Session Recording service and then install the Session Recording server component onto it from within the cloud. After the installation completes successfully, the machine becomes a Session Recording server that is connected to the Session Recording service. To do so:

1. Prepare a machine and install the Session Recording cloud client on it.
The machine is automatically connected to the Session Recording service, appearing in the Unallocated servers list on the Server Management page.
2. Check that the status of the machine is Ready to install, and then click the installation icon. The installation wizard appears.
3. Follow the wizard to install the Session Recording server component on the machine.

The new feature removes the need to download the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installer or the SessionRecordingAdministrationx64.msi file. It also checks it is domain joined and certificate bound to prevent issues that might keep Session Recording servers from functioning after being connected.
