While looking into updating KMS for Windows 10, I read about the benefits of Active Directory Based Activation (ABDA). Despite the limitations of ABDA (i.e. works on newer OS versions, requires schema update of functional level at server 2012 or above), it appears to be the better option from Microsoft for license activation.
Since we are likely going with Server 2016 for XenDesktop 7.X in the future, does Citrix/PVS support ADBA for license activation?
Here are a few blogs on it which I wanted to pass along. Please, let me know your thoughts on future benefits for Citrix.
