Royal Server 26.0 Beta 8 2026-08-07

Configuration Tool

Fixed

Addresses a crash in the Multi-Factor Authentication user dialog when the username combined both supported downlevel and upn formats, for example domain.local\username@upn-suffix. Such usernames are now rejected with a message showing the accepted formats.

Fixed

Addresses a bug on machines which are not domain-joined which made it possible to configure display names starting with non-existant workgroup names for local users.

Royal Server 26.0 Beta 13 2026-09-28

Improved

Royal Server now checks for Dynamic Folder and Dynamic Credential script
runs whether the service account holds the user rights “Replace a process level token”

command “RoyalServer.exe --cleanup-script-temp” removes them manually.

Improved

Royal Server now logs at startup when the %ProgramData%\RoyalServer\Temp\
folder is missing, inaccessible, or contains folders of previous service accounts.

to fail with “Cannot open script directory ‘Temp’” after the Royal Server service
account was changed.
