Anyone experienced issues with time/time zone settings getting messed up after this hotfix rollup was applied? Specifically when you have an 7.6 environment that is in a different time zone than the users?
What version of 7.6?
The time zone is not correct when users log on with Receiver for Windows. For this hotfix to work correctly, you must install the following:
The same Microsoft time zone update hotfix on the user device and the server. For example, if Microsoft hotfix KB2998527 is installed on the user device, install this hotfix on the server.
Microsoft Hotfix KB2870165 on the server if the server operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.
Fix #LC1392 is installed on the user device.

Apologies for being a bit late to this particular party, but I’ve had some trouble independently verifying a couple of things:
1. Does the Convenience Update include all (or at least, most) W2K8R2 post-SP1 MS patches noted in CTX129229?
2. In particular, does the Convenience Update include KB2775511, which is itself a hotfix rollup?
Thanks, Carl.
“This rollup package includes most updates that were released after the release of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through April 2016.”
The article has the list of missing updates. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574
From what I’ve been able to suss out, a fully up-to-date build looks something like this:
KB3020369 (Servicing Stack )
KB2775511 (Enterprise hotfix rollup, still recommended by MS in addition to KB3125574)
KB2581608 (non-included reg entry)
KB2752259 (non-included reg entry)
KB2732673 (KB2775511 post-requisite)
KB2728738 (KB2775511 post-requisite)
KB2878378 (KB2775511 post-requisite)
KB3125574-v4 (April 2016 Convenience rollup update)
KB3139923-v2 (updated version of hotfix included with KB3125574-v4)
KB3156417 (May 2016 non-security update rollup)
KB3172605 (July 2016 non-security update rollup)
KB3179573 (August 2016 non-security update rollup)
KB3185278 (September 2016 non-security update rollup)
KB3185330 (October 2016 non-security update rollup – now called monthly quality rollup)
KB3197868 (November 2016 monthly quality rollup)
+ Additional monthly quality rollups December 2016 – ∞ (thanks for not making these cumulative, Microsoft)
Of course, all of this is in addition to the XenApp config, which you’ve documented and which I think looks something like this:
Hotfix Rollup Pack 7 (CTX202095)
Post-HRP07 Hotfixes:
XA650R07W2K8R2X64001

I am confused. What do I have to install beside the convenience update (MS-Updates)?
The convenience update is all you need. That’s a very recent release. I left the prior list.
Do you just install this after Windows 7 SP1?
Yes.
thanks, can you install windows updates after plus basics Flash, Silverlight, adobe reader, java etc before converted to PVS image?
Yes. But usually you want security fixes installed as soon as possible.
I´m very confused about the first known issue described on the MS Article about the vNICs!
Do you have any experience with this hotfix on VMs on ESX or XenServer?
Next question:
Are all the individual hotfixes you listed in this article included in the convenience rollup?
Yes, I think all of them are included.
The convenience Rollup includes the pci.sys fix, which prevents a new vmxnet3 NIC from being created every time the machine is cloned. However, one final new vmxnet3 is created when the Hotfix is installed. If you’re running PvS then already have this fix installed so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Looks like KB3125574 has superseeded the majority of these based on file version numbers https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574
I was just getting ready to add that. 🙂 Thanks.
No problem, the timing on this release is perfect as i was about to start downloading hotfixes for our new 7.8 environment. Also dont forget that KB3020369 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369) is required before the convenience rollup.
I figured it comes from Windows Updates. Do you think admins would install the Convenience Update before installing Windows Updates?
Carl do you think these hot fixes should all be applied to a Windows 2008 r2 session host in Xenapp/desktop 7.X?
Yes.
I just use KUC instead. http://www.windows-update-checker.com
