Support for installing Citrix Provisioning servers on Windows Server Core

 With this feature, you can now install Citrix Provisioning servers on the system running Windows Server Core. The Server Core option is a minimal installation as opposed to the installation of Server with Desktop Experience. The Windows Server core reduces the potential attack surface to critical infrastructure.

 The benefits of using this feature are:

  •   Enhanced security for the Citrix Provisioning Servers.
  •   Reduced cost because you can use a smaller VM.

 The current limitations of this feature are:

  •   You cannot create target VMs using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Setup Wizard using HDD BDM boot.
  •   You cannot do a BDM update using the Citrix  Provisioning Console.
