Recommended XenApp 6.5 Hotfixes prior to Hotfix Rollup Pack 7
All the individual Hotfixes prior to Hotfix Rollup Pack 07 have been replaced by it for XenApp so far. Hotfix Rollup Pack 07 introduces a number of new fixes and enhancements that have not been released previously for a number of issues listed below.
Issues:
The svchost.exe process for Terminal Services might close unexpectedly with an application Event ID 1000 and can cause the Remote Desktop and Receiver connections to the server to fail.
After installing Hotfix Rollup Pack 5, the XTE service fails and drops user sessions.
The ImaSrv.exe process might exit unexpectedly.
Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, on vdtw30.dll.
Terminal Services can exit unexpectedly on RPM.dll.
A session can be terminated before the first application launches. The issue can occur when a one-minute time-out is exceeded, for example, when the profile share is located across a WAN link rather than on a local share
The CPU consumption of the winlogon.exe process can be higher than usual and cause new connection attempts to fail once a server hosts 70 connections or more. Eventually, servers can experience a fatal exception and need to be restarted.
Pass-through authentication fails in a pass-through client.
Iyengar, B.K.S. Retrieved 9 January 2013. Bks iyengar yoga pdf. New Delhi, India: Allied Publishers. Astadala Yogamala.
After shadowing a session, the win32k.sys and vdtw30.dll files can leave the session unresponsive on the server; the session cannot be reset.

Recommended XenApp 6.0 Hotfixes prior to Hotfix Rollup Pack 2
All the individual Hotfixes prior to Hotfix Rollup Pack 02 have been replaced by it for XenApp so far. Hotfix Rollup Pack 02 introduces a number of new fixes and enhancements that have not been released previously for a number of issues listed below.
Issues:
When a server running Access Fundamentals/XenApp 6 Fundamentals Edition is in a workgroup, the Citrix license cannot be retrieved and application launch fails, resulting in the following error message: 'License Acquisition failed..'
This fix addresses security vulnerability. For more information, see CTX123359 - Transport Layer Security Renegotiation Vulnerability.
This fix addresses session reliability issues that can occur when using multiple, disparate, client devices to reconnect to the same session.
This fix addresses security vulnerability. For more information, see CTX128169 - Vulnerabilities in XenApp and XenDesktop could result in arbitrary code execution.
Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, with bugcheck code 0xf4 on IMAAdvanceSrv.exe.
Servers running XenApp 6 can become unresponsive when shutting down. The issue occurs when the picadm.sys driver encounters certain error conditions that prevent it from shutting down in an orderly fashion. Also, servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen on picadm.sys with bugcheck code 0x22 (FILE_SYSTEM).
If a session is disconnected while it is still reading or writing a Client Drive Mapping (CDM) file, the resulting deadlock condition can prevent servers from accepting new session requests.
Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, on picadm.sys. The issue occurs when the user removes a thumb drive from a client device while connected to a session. Dumps indicate that picadm.sys is referencing invalid, possibly disconnected volumes.
When the ReadOnlyMappedDrive registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrent Control SetservicespicadmParameters) is set to 1, published applications can no longer access and browse mapped client drives.
With folder redirection enabled, servers can experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, on picadm.sys. The issue can be observed when attempting to save a file that was introduced into the session on a USB device attached to and then removed from a thin client device.
Servers with Hotfix XA600W2K8R2X64018 installed can become unresponsive intermittently. The issue occurs when a scheduled reboot is triggered by a Citrix policy while there are active sessions on the server.
With Session Reliability enabled, ICA connection attempts fail if the ICA Listener is bound to a single NIC in a multi-homed environment.
The Citrix SSL Relay Configuration tool can fail to correctly create the outbound connection policies defined in its Connection tab. After applying this fix on affected deployments, the policies are modified to disallow all outgoing connections. As a result, SSL connections can stop working. In order to recreate the correct policies and allow SSL connections to work again, you must rerun the Citrix SSL Relay Configuration tool, verify the policies in its Connection tab and click Apply. The next time the server restarts, the correct policies are in place.
This fix addresses two installation issues:
Hotfixes fail to install on a XA6 server that has not yet had the XenApp Server Role configured.
Installing hotfixes or performing a repair on the base product for Citrix XenApp 6 for Windows Server 2008 R2 can inadvertently remove the Citrix Licensing component, if present, from the system. This fix prevents the Citrix Licensing component from being removed when installing subsequent hotfixes.
Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen while shadowing is started.
This fix addresses security vulnerability. For more information, see Knowledge Center article CTX129430 - Vulnerabilities in XenApp and XenDesktop could result in arbitrary code execution.
Certain applications fail to launch when Administrator Approval Mode is enabled in User Account Control.
This fix addresses the following issues for sessions launched as streamed to server or by a script: 1) The application name can be missing from the session information of the Delivery Services Console Session and not appear under the Applications folder of the Delivery Services Console. 2) Application limits might be ignored. 3) Attempts to reconnect to disconnected sessions might fail.
Certain applications can perform slowly when run in seamless mode
The CPU consumption of the winlogon.exe process can be higher than usual and it might cause new connection attempts to fail once a server hosts 70 connections or more. Eventually, servers can experience a fatal exception and need to be restarted.
Attempts to log on to a XenApp 6 server using Version 7 or earlier versions of the clients can cause svchost.exe to exit unexpectedly. As a result, further connection attempts to the server fail until it is restarted.
The CPU consumption of the CitrixCseEngine.exe process can spike unexpectedly and cause logon delays.
Attempts to launch a published application that resides on a mapped network drive rather than on a XenApp server failure
When connecting to a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1, Terminal Services can exit unexpectedly. This causes users to experience a black screen when logging on and the logon process fails to complete.
A rare race condition that occurs when a shadowee disconnects at roughly the same time a shadower connects can cause servers to experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen on RPM.dll.
The fix addresses an issue where the IMA Service exits unexpectedly when a network adapter is not bound to an IP address.

Known Installation/Uninstallation Issues
For information about the order of deployment to servers in a farm and other helpful best practices guidelines, see Knowledge Center article CTX120842 (Best Practices for Citrix XenApp Hotfix Rollup Pack Installation and Deployment).
This hotfix rollup pack replaces Hotfix XA650R06W2K8R2X64021, which was removed from distribution because it includes an incorrect binary version. Befor you install this hotfix rollup pack, Citrix recommends that you confirm whether Hotfix XA650R06W2K8R2X64021 is present on any system and then proceed as follows:
- On systems where Hotfix XA650R06W2K8R2X64021 (but not VC++ 2012) is installed, Citrix recommends that you uninstall Hotfix XA650R05W2K8R2X64021 and then install this hotfix rollup pack.
- On systems where Hotfix XA650R06W2K8R2X64021 and VC++ 2012 are installed, Citrix recommends that you uninstall XA650R06W2K8R2X64021 and VC++ 2012 in that order. Then install VC++ 2012 and this hotfix rollup pack.Installing this hotfix rollup pack partially invalidates several hotfixes. This happens because not all fixes in these hotfixes are included in the hotfix rollup pack. Obtain or request the corresponding replacement hotfixes for any invalidated fixes you require. List of invalidated hotfixes
On some Citrix XenApp servers, silent installation of hotfix rollup packs can fail and installation with UI can display the following error message: 'Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002).' If you are affected by this issue, see Knowledge Center article CTX133014 for more information.
After uninstalling this hotfix rollup pack from servers with the Universal Print Server Client installed, you must run a Repair on the Universal Print Server Client in order for the client to function properly. This is necessary because uninstalling this hotfix rollup pack causes the UPD driver binaries to be reverted to previous hotfix rollup pack level instead of the base installation level of the Universal Print Server Client.
New Fixes and Enhancements in This Hotfix Rollup Pack
This hotfix rollup pack introduces the following fixes that have not been previously released:
| HDX MediaStream Windows Media Redirection | Session/Connection |
| Printing | Shadowing |
| Seamless Windows | System Exceptions |
| Server/Farm Administration | User Interface |
HDX MediaStream Windows Media Redirection
When playing a video file in a session with Receiver for Windows version 13.3 or 13.4, synchronization occurs between the audio and video in a custom application. However, when upgrading to a newer version of Receiver, Windows Media Redirection fails. After this occurs, users can hear audio only or can see video only.
To enable this fix, you must use Citrix Receiver for Windows 4.3 or later.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC3916]
Printing
With legacy printer names enabled, autocreated printers might not be available for use in a published application when multiple sessions are established on a single server for the same user.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC4517]
Seamless Windows
Seamless applications can become unresponsive and their icon in the Windows taskbar reverts to the generic Citrix Receiver icon.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC3783]
Server/Farm Administration
Spurious updates might be made to servers' local host cache after the Microsoft DsBind() API function fails. Symptoms of this issue include rapid increases to the size of the local host cache on controllers and changes to the contents of worker groups pointing to Active Directory OUs.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC2631]
The 'dscheck /full workergroup' command might report errors incorrectly when verifying Workergroups that do not contain 'Farm Servers' objects, displaying the following message:
'Error:: Failed to retrieve Server UIDs for the WorkGroupUID ……'
'No Server UID is present'
This fix modifies the message displayed in this circumstance to the following:
'This workergroup is not configured for Farm Server, verification OK'
'This workergroup is configured for Farm Server and has no Server UID, verification OK'
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC3383]
When an application is published to a Worker Group, running the command dscheck /full apps /servercheck mistakenly returns the Worker Group object as an unknown server, offering the option to delete it.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC3556]
Custom administrators receive an 'Access denied' error when running the get-xasession -localhostonly command.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC4293]
Session/Connection
If another process holds the same lock as picadm.sys, users cannot log off from the session and the session remains in a disconnected state.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC1243]
Attempts to copy information fail in a published version of Microsoft Access 2007. The information does not appear in the Office clipboard.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC1290]
If a published application stops working, the Desktop Window Manager might fail to allow the user to close the application.
[From XA650W2K8R2X64R07][#LC2922]
