Software requirements for deploying Unified Service Desk sample applications

To deploy a Unified Service Desk sample application, an instance of Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online or on-premises), Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015, or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is required.

Important

Although you can deploy and use Unified Service Desk 2.x sample applications with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1), we recommend that you upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 so you can use the new features available.

For information about the sample applications available for this release, see Deploy sample Unified Service Desk applications using Package Deployer.

Software requirements for the Package Deployer tool

The Package Deployer tool is used for deploying Unified Service Desk sample applications. The tool supports and requires the following technologies:

  • For running the tool, use one of these Windows Server versions: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • An instance of Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online or on-premises), Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015, or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

  • Additionally, Windows PowerShell 3.0 or later is required if you’ll be using PowerShell cmdlets for CRM Package Deployer to deploy sample applications. To check your PowerShell version, open a PowerShell window, and then run the following command: $Host

Software requirements for Citrix XenApp application virtualization

You can install and run the Unified Service Desk client as a published app on Citrix XenApp 7.6. This allows agents to access the Unified Service Desk client from a central location.

You can also configure a Windows application as a virtual application on Citrix XenApp 7.6 that run as a hosted application in Unified Service Desk. More information:MSDN: Integrate with Citrix applications
