Hello,

I tried 8.2.2-rc2 on xcp-ng 7.5 for my Windows Server 2012R2 vm.

• installation successful even if already installed citrix management agent. citrix tools removed automatically.
• windows device manager show everything is good.
• xcp-ng center 7.6.0 rc3 and xen orchestra 5.28 say: management agent not installed. Memory usage graphic not working
• maybe helpful information: this migration issue still exist with this client tool.

I will try for other windows version if I find some time.

Please read carefully the docs: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Guest-Tools#upgrade-from-citrix-registered-xenserver-registered-client-tools
First step is to uninstall all Citrix related tools and drivers!

Well done guys!

Before I give these a spin, I assume I need to switch off the automatic windows update xentools update method (which I enabled via XenOrchestra)... right?

[borzel]

@LukeRoberts I would say yes
