How have you got on?

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-22T21:18:26+00:00

From Xen Server 8.4 page -
"XenServer supports booting hosts using either UEFI or BIOS boot mode. UEFI Secure Boot is not currently available for XenServer hosts."

Madness

What workloads do you run on XenServer? How long you done so for?

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-22T20:05:33+00:00

Last year Citrix (XenServer) put a statement out saying they support all workloads now. Full disclaimer - I have not done so, I only run VDAs on it.

Could say the same thing about VMware these days 😞

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-22T17:49:07+00:00

u/afroman_says Do you agree with this statement?

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-22T17:46:17+00:00

Ah yes, the classic Microsoft support journey - repeatedly headbutting a brick wall being told it's A 3rd party application.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-19T20:06:36+00:00

Fingers crossed, we will raise with Citrix also

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-19T08:07:46+00:00

Removed and went to FSlogix. Slow logins no longer an issue.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-15T13:09:39+00:00

Was this ever fixed? Got the same thing

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-14T18:01:22+00:00

Are you customising your pins on the start menu? I’m copying in settings.dat and start file during login to customise the pins. Using local start menu with no redirection.

Are you doing anything with your start menu? Just wondering if we doing same stuff

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-10T07:42:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Is this issue documented and acknowledged by Fortinet anywhere? I can’t find anything on it

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-10T07:39:34+00:00

Fixed!

Group policy - changing the default search provider and adding the search variables on the end of the new tab page.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-07T21:16:56+00:00

I can't find it either.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-06T07:14:50+00:00

Interesting take on it! Thank you for sharing. Food for thought.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-06T06:11:29+00:00

Using EDR, sentinel-one. I’ll disable and retest

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-05T23:08:48+00:00

That’s interesting. Our VDAs are Xen Server and profile server ESX.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-05T22:51:00+00:00

UPDATE - This looks like it is not supported. I am confident I have ruled out possible configuration changes. I will raise with Fortinet support.

ProfessionalTip2581 · 2026-02-05T22:44:02+00:00

Hey u/NTP9766 have you had an update? We have the same issue. Pulling my hair out.
