07/13/2023, 9:31 PMCan you not just make a server VDA that is not based on a provisioned image? then it would be stand-alone and should host sessions in its of DG. I don't think that it necessarily needs to be installed as a Remote PC. I believe that the design for the Remote PC option was to provide access to a physical PC sitting on somebodies desk, so it would inherently be for single user

07/13/2023, 11:01 PMI thought that’s what remote pc is. How do you create a vda that way?

07/14/2023, 2:08 AMAs I understand it, multi session Win10 or Win11 is only available via Azure Virtual Desktop. If you go that route, it's no different than traditional CVAD. Remote PC is for physical devices only. By definition, you can't do multi-session Remote PC.

07/14/2023, 2:28 AMI’m trying to use a 2019 server and just want it to be connected to via Citrix services. When trying to set up a machine catalog I only have mcs/pvs and remote pc as options and the first two work off a gold image
Danny
07/14/2023, 2:29 AM2019 server with External vendors accessing it via Citrix.
Danny
07/14/2023, 2:30 AMThat’s the main goal. Have them set up what they need etc without worry of settings not being preserved or whatnot

07/14/2023, 9:20 AMOn server os you should be able to create a physical vda. You might have to use the cmdline for the install ill test later today

Danny
07/14/2023, 12:24 PMthats what I thought remotePC is for. there's only three options MCs/PVS or Remote PC. the first two rely on a gold image which just leaves remote pc.

07/14/2023, 12:38 PMIf you are running the install from the Citrix ISO on server 2019 you should see in the upper right corner "Virtual Delivery Agent for Windows Multi-session OS" or you can download the install file for that version of the VDA directly.

Danny
07/14/2023, 1:38 PM@Rob Zylowski so once this broker connection is set up, what option do i use in director? only see multi-session,single or remote pc.
Danny
07/14/2023, 1:41 PMso maybe i did set up enable brokered connection on that server yesterday afterall just had issues getting it set up on the director side of things
