      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.
