Tools for Windows VM's
-
Just making sure I'm not missing anything...The latest version of the XCP-ng drivers/agent is a RC from 2019?
-
@JamesG You are correct about that, this is another reason I use the Citrix ones personally.
Also, as I mentioned above, don't forget that you can't use secure boot with the XCP-ng tools.

It is no longer possible to download from citrix. I can't create an account. You need an existing company account, and I don't see any option to create company account.

@JoyceBabu They are now available at https://www.xenserver.com/downloads

@Danp Thanks for sharing, this is great.

@Danp Thank you for sharing.
I have already installed XCP-ng tools, and as per the documentation there is no cleanup script for removing XCP-ng. Is Citrix tools worth the trouble of re-installing Windows?
-
@JoyceBabu You can manually remove the xcp tools and reinstall the xen tools (or the other way) without reinstalling windows. There are some programs/scripts from a while ago that shows what's still there so you can remove them. Here's a post. Here's info from citrix. Make a snapshot first in case of trouble.

Thank you @Andrew. I went ahead and re-created the VM. I didn't want to risk a future instability.

@JacobyBarr Unless I missed it, you still can't use secure boot with those ones, so that can pose an issue in some environments.
