Problem:

I have just had a strange problem, when an individual user  tried to launch any published application another server desktop session was initiated with the below message, resetting the users profiles etc made no difference.

I recently needed to migrate our Citrix data store from a MS Access database to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (32-Bit), this document shows the steps I went though.

Step 1
Before starting I created a backup of my data store take a look at http://www.geekshangout.com/?q=node/32 for instructions

Step 2
I created a new database and user on the SQL server

Step 3
On one of the Citrix Servers I created a file DSN that pointed to my new SQL database

On a Citrix server run the command DSMAINT BACKUP <destination_path>

For example:

DSMAINT BACKUP C:\

Make sure you do not add a filename or you will receive a message such as

ERROR: Cannot copy database file.
 

For a long time I have been tring to find or write a vbs script that will return the VIrtual IP address of the current users Citrix session.

I have managed to finally find a way of doing it, please comment if you have a better way!!!!!!

The big problem with the script is the user running the script needs to be a Citrix administrator.

I will continue to work on this problem and will post new versions.

Problem:

If the IMA server will not start with messages in the event log such as the following, then the IMA database may be corrupt

The Independent Management Architecture service terminated with service-specific error 2147483649 (0x80000001).
