Keep It On The Level, The MinimumFunctionalLevel

Sometimes, over time, you upgrade and upgrade. But maybe you forgot to upgrade your functional levels for your Machine Catalogs and Delivery Groups. If you don’t have the right functional level, you may be missing out on features. (Link to functional levels: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/install-configure/machine-catalogs-create.html#vda-versions-and-functional-levels)

So here is a quick way to upgrade the functional level. This is done for “L7_20” level. As newer levels come out, you can change the value.

# This will upgrade functional levels on Delivery Groups and Machine Catalogs. This will need to be ran on either a Delivery Controller or somewhere you have the Citrix Powershell SDK installed.
