Citrix XenApp 7.6, Provisioning Services 7.6 and the XenDesktop Setup Wizard with Boot Device Manager

I have written several articles about using the Provisioning Services (PVS) XenDesktop Setup Wizard with XenDesktop. Now I wanted to find out if the Wizard would also work with XenApp 7.6. Another item I wanted to test was using Boot Device Manager (BDM) only.

Introduction

As with most things involving XenApp and or PVS, there is NO one way or one right way to do anything. This article will give you detailed information on the process I worked out and documented.

Many XenApp/XenDesktop projects I work on now, excluding HP Moonshot, do not use DHCP Options 66/67, PXE or TFTP. For that reason, I wanted to document using BDM only for this process.

I am using components that come with XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 Long Term Service Release (LTSR):

PVS 7.6.1.8
XenApp 7.6
StoreFront 3.0.1.56
Virtual Delivery Agent 7.6.300
