Contributed by:CInstalling Windows VMs on the Citrix Hypervisor server requires hardware virtualization support (Intel VT or AMD-V).Basic procedure for creating a Windows VMThe process of installing a Windows on to a VM consists of the following steps:.Selecting the appropriate Windows template.Installing the Windows operating system.Installing the Citrix VM Tools ( I/O drivers and the Management Agent)Warning:Windows VMs are supported only when the VMs have the Citrix VM Tools installed. For more information, see Citrix VM Tools.Windows VM templatesWindows operating systems are installed onto VMs by cloning an appropriate template using either XenCenter or the xe CLI, and then installing the operating system. The templates for individual guests have predefined platform flags set which define the configuration of the virtual hardware.
For example, all Windows VMs are installed with the ACPI Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) mode enabled. If you later change one of these VMs to have multiple virtual CPUs, Windows automatically switches the HAL to multi-processor mode.The available Windows templates are listed below: Template NameDescriptionCitrix XenApp on Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32-bit). All editions are supported. This template is specially tuned to optimize Citrix XenApp performance.Citrix XenApp on Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2008 SP2 (64-bit). All editions are supported.

All editions are supported.Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (64-bit). All editions are supported.Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2012 (64-bit).Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit).Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server Core 2016 (64-bit)Windows Server 2019 (64-bit)Used to install Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server Core 2019 (64-bit)Note:Windows 8 is no longer supported. Users who install Windows 8 are upgraded to Windows 8.1.Warning:Experimental guest operating systems have received limited testing, might not be present in future product releases, and must not be enabled on production systems. We might not respond to support requests regarding experimental features. Attach an ISO image libraryThe Windows operating system can be installed either from an install CD in a physical CD-ROM drive on the Citrix Hypervisor server, or from an ISO image. See for information on how to make an ISO image from a Windows install CD and make it available for use.Create a VM by using XenCenterNote:The following procedure provides an example of creating Windows 7 (32-bit) VM. The default values may vary depending on the operating system that you choose.To create a Windows 7 (32-bit) VM:.On the XenCenter toolbar, click the New VM button to open the New VM wizard.The New VM wizard allows you to configure the new VM, adjusting various parameters for CPU, storage, and networking resources.Select a VM template and click Next.Each template contains the setup information that is required to create a VM with a specific guest operating system (OS), and with optimum storage.
This list reflects the templates that Citrix Hypervisor currently supports.Note:If the OS that you are installing on your VM is compatible only with the original hardware, check the Copy host BIOS strings to VM box. For example, you might use this option for an OS installation CD that was packaged with a specific computer.To copy BIOS strings using the CLI, see. The option to set user-defined BIOS strings are not available for HVM VMs.Enter a name and an optional description for the new VM.Choose the source of the OS media to install on the new VM.Installing from a CD/DVD is the simplest option for getting started.
Choose the default installation source option (DVD drive). Insert the disk into the DVD drive of the Citrix Hypervisor server. Choose Next to proceed.Citrix Hypervisor also allows you to pull OS installation media from a range of sources, including a pre-existing ISO library. An ISO image is a file that contains all the information that an optical disc (CD, DVD, and so on) would contain. In this case, an ISO image would contain the same OS data as a Windows installation CD.To attach a pre-existing ISO library, click New ISO library and indicate the location and type of ISO library.
You can then choose the specific operating system ISO media from the list.Select a home server for the VM.A home server is the server which provides the resources for a VM in a pool. When you nominate a home server for a VM, Citrix Hypervisor attempts to start the VM on that server. If this action is not possible, an alternate server within the same pool is selected automatically.
To choose a home server, click Place the VM on this server and select a server from the list.Notes:. In WLB-enabled pools, the nominated home server isn’t used for starting, restarting, resuming, or migrating the VM. Instead, WLB nominates the best server for the VM by analyzing Citrix Hypervisor resource pool metrics and by recommending optimizations. If a VM has a virtual GPU assigned to it, the home server nomination doesn’t take effect. Instead, the server nomination is based on the virtual GPU placement policy set by the user.If you do not want to nominate a home server, click Don’t assign this VM a home server. The VM is started on any server with the necessary resources.Click Next to continue.Allocate processor and memory resources for the VM.
For a Windows 10 VM, the default is 1 virtual CPU and 2,048 MB of RAM. You may also choose to modify the defaults. Click Next to continue.Assign a virtual GPU.
The New VM wizard prompts you to assign a dedicated GPU or a virtual GPU to the VM. This option enables the VM to use the processing power of the GPU. Setup.exe /passiveFor interactive, silent, and passive installations, following the next system restart there might be several automated reboots before the Citrix VM Tools are fully installed. This behavior is also the case for installations with the /norestart flag specified. However, for installations where the /norestart flag is provided, the initial restart might be manually initiated.The Citrix VM Tools are installed by default in the C:Program FilesCitrixXenTools directory on the VM.Notes:. To install Citrix VM Tools on a Windows VM, the VM must be running the Microsoft.NET Framework Version 4.0 or later. The /quiet parameter applies to the installation dialogs only, but not to the device driver installation.
When the /quiet parameter is specified, the device driver installation requests permission to reboot if required. When /quiet /norestart is specified, the system doesn’t reboot after the entire tools installation is complete. This behavior is independent of what the user specifies in the reboot dialog. When /quiet /forcerestart is specified, the system reboots after the entire tools installation is complete.
This behavior is independent of what the user specifies in the reboot dialog. When the device driver installation requests permission to reboot, a tools installation with the quiet parameter specified can still be in progress. Use the Task Manager to confirm whether the installer is still running.Warning:Installing or upgrading the Citrix VM Tools can cause the friendly name and identifier of some network adapters to change. Any software which is configured to use a particular adapter may have to be reconfigured following Citrix VM Tools installation or upgrade.Create a Windows VM by using the CLITo create a Windows VM from an ISO repository by using the xe CLI:.Create a VM from a template. Xe vm-start vm=vmnameAt this point, the VM console is visible in XenCenter.For more information on using the CLI, see.Update Windows operating systemsThis section discusses updating Windows VMs with updated operating systems and reinstalling Citrix VM Tools.Upgrades to VMs are typically required when moving to a newer version of Citrix Hypervisor.
Note the following limitations when upgrading your VMs to a newer version of Citrix Hypervisor:.Before migrating Windows VMs using live migration, you must upgrade the Citrix VM Tools on each VM.Suspend/Resume operation is not supported on Windows VMs until the Citrix VM Tools are upgraded.The use of certain antivirus and firewall applications can crash Windows VMs, unless the Citrix VM Tools are upgraded.Warning:Before updating Windows operating systems, uninstall the Citrix VM Tools. Msiexec.exe /i managementagentx64.msi ALLOWAUTOUPDATE=YES ALLOWDRIVERINSTALL=NO ALLOWDRIVERUPDATE=NO IDENTIFYAUTOUPDATE=YESRedirect the Management Agent updatesCitrix Hypervisor enables customers to redirect Management Agent updates to an internal web server before they are installed.
This redirection allows customers to review the updates before they are automatically installed on the VM.To redirect the Management Agent updates:.Download the JSON file from.Download the Management Agent MSI files referenced in the JSON file.Upload the MSI files to an internal web server that your VMs can access.Update the JSON file to point to the MSI files on the internal web server.Upload the JSON file to the web server.Note:This file is also available in TSV format for older versions of the Management Agent.Automatic updates can also be redirected on a per-VM or a per-pool basis. To redirect updates on a per-VM basis:.On the VM, open a command prompt as an administrator.Run the command. Reg.exe ADD HKLMSOFTWARECitrixXenToolsAutoUpdate REGSZ /v IDENTIFYAUTOUPDATE /d YES/NOPrepare to clone a Windows VM by using SysprepThe only supported way to clone a Windows VM is by using the Windows utility sysprep to prepare the VM.The sysprep utility changes the local computer SID to make it unique to each computer. The sysprep binaries are located in the C:WindowsSystem32Sysprep folder.Note:For older versions of Windows, the sysprep binaries are on the Windows product CDs in the supporttoolsdeploy.cab file. These binaries must be copied to your Windows VM before using.To clone Windows VMs:.Create, install, and configure the Windows VM as desired.Apply all relevant Service Packs and updates.Install the Citrix VM Tools.Install any applications and perform any other configuration.Run sysprep.
This utility shuts down the VM when it completes.Using XenCenter convert the VM into a template.Clone the newly created template into new VMs as required.When the cloned VM starts, it completes the following actions before being available for use:. It gets a new SID and name. It runs a mini-setup to prompt for configuration values as necessary. Finally, it restartsNote:Do not restart the original, sys-prepped VM (the “source” VM) again after the sysprep stage. Immediately convert it to a template afterwards to prevent restarts.
If the source VM is restarted, sysprep must be run on it again before it can be safely used to make more clones.For more information about using sysprep, visit the following Microsoft website:.Windows VM release notesThere are many versions and variations of Windows with different levels of support for the features provided by Citrix Hypervisor. This section lists notes and errata for the known differences. General Windows issues.When installing Windows VMs, start off with no more than three virtual disks. After the VM and Citrix VM Tools have been installed, you can add extra virtual disks. Ensure that the boot device is always one of the initial disks so that the VM can successfully boot without the Citrix VM Tools.When the boot mode for a Windows VM is BIOS boot, Windows formats the primary disk with a Master Boot Record (MBR). MBR limits the maximum addressable storage space of a disk to 2 TiB.
To use a disk that is larger than 2 TiB with a Windows VM, do one of the following things:. If UEFI boot is supported for the version of Windows, ensure that you use UEFI as the boot mode for the Windows VM. Create the large disk as the secondary disk for the VM and select GUID Partition Table (GPT) format.Multiple vCPUs are exposed as CPU sockets to Windows guests, and are subject to the licensing limitations present in the VM. The number of CPUs present in the guest can be confirmed by checking Device Manager. The number of CPUs actually being used by Windows can be seen in the Task Manager.The disk enumeration order in a Windows guest may differ from the order in which they were initially added. This behavior is because of interaction between the I/O drivers and the Plug-and-Play subsystem in Windows. For example, the first disk may show up as Disk 1, the next disk hot plugged as Disk 0, a subsequent disk as Disk 2, and then upwards in the expected fashion.A bug in the VLC player DirectX back-end replaces yellow with blue in video playback when the Windows display properties are set to 24-bit color.
VLC using OpenGL as a back-end works correctly, and any other DirectX-based or OpenGL-based video player works too. It is not a problem if the guest is set to use 16-bit color rather than 24.The PV Ethernet Adapter reports a speed of 1 Gbps in Windows VMs. This speed is a hardcoded value and is not relevant in a virtual environment because the virtual NIC is connected to a virtual switch.
The data rate is not limited by the advertised network speed.Windows 7Microsoft only supports the use of Windows 7 when Service Pack 1 is installed. For a Windows 7 VM to be supported on Citrix Hypervisor, ensure that SP1 or later is installed. Windows 8We no longer support Windows 8 guests. If you install a Windows 8 VM, it is upgraded to Windows 8.1. Windows Server 2008 R2Microsoft only supports the use of Windows Server 2008 R2 when Service Pack 1 is installed.
For a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM to be supported on Citrix Hypervisor, ensure that SP1 or later is installed. The official version of this content is in English.

Start the VM. Windows will start in normal mode. Login with administrator credentials. Insert the current version of xs-tools.iso into the virtual DVD drive. Run the XenServer Tools Install Wizard. The install should go asnormal.
You'll be asked to reboot once or twice. Be sure to log back into Windows each time after reboot so it can finish the install. When XenServer Tools is installed, go back into msconfig and reenable any services you disabled previously. You might want to snapshot the VM when done and you have a final upgraded installation.
Ah so the previous ones aren't uninstalling properly? I have a longer procedure that works pretty much every time but you have to be ruthless!1)Disable any non-MS core default services. All of them.2)Uninstall the XenTools package currently installed in the VM and reboot.3)Run a repair install of.NET (all versions)4)Check in device manager for a failed driver and check if the driver in question is storflt. If so, uninstall the device.5)Verify everything non-MS is disabled.6)Reboot7)Install the new tools package via the autorun of the tools CD.8)Let the VM reboot as many times as necessary9)Reboot the VM again.10)Re-enable every service that was disabled in step 1. I did uninstall of 6.0.2 tools from W7 system, checked the services of any Citrix isn't runing - was not. Then I installed version 6.2, but what is strange for me the installer tells me that I have to wait for several reboots of system. I was waiting more then hour and nothing happend.
Then I logged out from RDC and login again, the installer was at around 30% of progress, then I logged out and in again and I see attached message from screenshot.I was thinking that wait process is related to W7 UAC control, but not. Do you know why I was waiting so long and the system was not rebooted automatically and the progress bar changes after logout/login?
