Last week I cloned some Citrix XenApp servers by a customer, after multiple reboots I saw boot message:

VMware image customization is in progress …

Solution:

Open the Registry Editior, path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute

Remove the value: sysprepDecrypter.exe , result:

Press OK, reboot the server and.. the problem is solved!

When using citrix streamed applications and res powerfuse you can walk into the following problem.

If you want to open a (for example) mdb file direcly from the start menu you can’t just open the mdb file because the file extension is connected to windows explorer.

You can open the by opening the streamed app and add a extra command into the link: /extracmdline:”location”

An example:

c:\program files\Citrix\Streaming Client\RadeRun.exe -D /app:”Microsoft Office Access 2003″ /package:”\\fs1\apps\Microsoft Office 2003\Microsoft Office 2003.profile” /extracmdline:”C:\files\example.mdb”

Installed this hotfix:

Hotfix XAE500W2K8030 – For Citrix XenApp 5.0 for Windows Server 2008 x86
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX122563

Set the following policy’s:

Citrix Policy’s: Default Policy - User Workspace – Time Zones – Do not estimate local time: Enabled
Citrix Policy’s: Default Policy – User Workspace – Time Zones – Do not use Clients’ local time: Disabled

Local policy: Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates >Windows Components > Terminal Services > Terminal Server > Device and Resource Redirection > Allow time zone redirection: Enabled

I rebooted the Citrix servers and the Client Time Zone is active for the Citrix users.
