Più infoThe Parallels RAS migration tool is a free, automated way to easily help customers switch and below you can see how it works.
NOTE: The Parallels Citrix XenApp 6.x migration tool is a standalone software executed on a separate management workstation. It won’t modify any settings on your existing Citrix XenApp Farm.
The configuration settings are extracted from the Citrix Farm using Citrix PowerShell SDK. The Parallels RAS migration tool then imports the settings into a new Parallels RAS Farm. The administrators can then verify the new configurations and start migrating the Microsoft RDS servers from Citrix XenApp to Parallels RAS.
Before moving to production, we recommend IT administrators to review the configuration imported to the Parallels RAS environment and finalize settings by replacing Citrix XenApp worker role with the Parallels RAS RD Session Host Agent.
