Other Known Issues - Desktop Connections

Citrix Receiver 12.6

  • If no root certificate is installed on a non-domain-joined desktop appliance, the Desktop Viewer cannot connect and an error message (Error 1030) is displayed. However, this error is incorrect. Error 61 should be displayed. [#241893]
