Citrix XenApp 6.0 to 6.5 Upgrade Utility

Alexander Ervik Johnsen Citrix, download, utility, Virtual Machine, XenApp, XenApp 6.0, XenApp 6.5 2011-09-27

Upgrading from XenApp 6.0 to XenApp 6.5 does not provide a binary upgrade path. For some environments, the ability to create a new virtual machine image or clean installation XenApp 6.5 servers might not be possible.

The script performs what normally would be a long process of manually uninstalling XenApp 6.0 components in a select order, then installing XenApp 6.5. The following steps are performed:

  • Checks to see if XenApp 6.0 is installed or not, and if the XenApp 6.5 installer is available.
  • Prompts for a password to silently run the install process after reboot.
    Note
    : This is not stored by the script but is stored by the operating system in the Task Scheduler.
  • Uninstalls XenApp 6.0 components. By default these include the Online-Plugin, Management Consoles, and XenApp Application Delivery role. Other components are included in the script and can be enabled for automatic removal.
  • Installs XenApp 6.5 and, by default, joins the server to the farm as a worker. This can also be changed by editing the JOIN command parameters as outlined in the document.
  • Verifies the join is successful by checking to see if the IMA service is running.

IMPORTANT: This script is designed to operate silently in the background without requiring you to log in between reboots. After starting the script it takes 30 minutes (or more) and a few reboots to complete. Instructions for checking the status can be found at the end of this article.
