Thanks @abudef !
-
Installed tools on a two windows 11 and windows server 2022. No issues detected so far. One vm did have drivers managed by windows update enabled others did not. Ran Xenclean on all system and then installed the new drivers/tools?
Will these tools be included next xcp-ng release or update like the Linux drivers/tools are?
-
@olivierlambert Moved all my homelab and business vm's to this, from Citrix-tools (latest version).
Apart from loosing all IP info in the network (as it's always a new network adapter) all went without any issues.
All Vates now

It's great, thank you so far! I've noticed, that the reported OS in XenOrchestra (and XCP-ng Center) is reported differently compared to Citrix Tools. Is this intentional? For example, this is a Windows Server 2025 and not a Windows 11 24h2.
-
@Chemikant784 Yes, it does not replicate the version reporting from Citrix, but rather to be consistent across guest OSes. What would you like to see reported here?
-
@dinhngtu One would suppose for it to report the correct Windows version.... Or at least a common "general one", e.g. "Windows 10 or newer". As it is it doesn't feel right.
-
@dinhngtu I was just wondering. I would expect the Windows Name (as the property implies). At the moment "OS name" and "OS kernel" are filled with the same information. So in a quick view through the VM-tree one could not define its a server or a client OS. Sure, soon there will be another buildnumber for Windows 11 due to 25h2. But in this way IMHO it's a little bit more tricky to get an overview
Overall its not a big thing. -
I'll change it to report something like "Windows 11 Professional 64-bit" instead. Any other guest information you'd like to see reported here?
-
@dinhngtu Better to report it Windows11/Windows Server 202x
-
@dinhngtu I would prefer some standardized OS information for Windows systems, similar to this info:
Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object OsName, OsVersion, OsBuildNumber, OsArchitecture OsName OsVersion OsBuildNumber OsArchitecture ------ --------- ------------- -------------- Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard Evaluation 10.0.26100 26100 64-bit -
@dinhngtu Is it impossible to report the correct Windows version? Seems to be the "correct" solution....
-
Sorry for the confusion, I was posting the output from my Windows 11 computer...
On Server 2022 for example, it will report "Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 64-bit" instead. So the OS name should be correct wrt. client/server editions, i.e. it will not report as Windows 11 on Server 2025.
-
@dinhngtu From my point of view this would be fine
So the systems can be distinguished even when the buildnumber is the same.
