Strange...must be some other problem with IMA that's reflecting an issue
with the CDF DCOM object...like the IMA service hanging...or something
along those lines. What version of XenApp are you running and what
hotfix level is it at?

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

One other thing I don't think I've mentioned is..

 

On affected servers, when you run QUERY FARM it comes back blank!

 

Again, this is resolved after you restart the IMA Service.

Hi Jim,

 

I did this as the domain administrator - ie opening up dcomcnfg and
literally expanding each node until it errored.

 

The only error it came back with related to acrobat reader PDFShellInfo
which was not recorded. 

 

Needless to say this hasn't fixed my issue. 

 

The strange thing is that these issues go away when I manually stop and
start the Citrix IMA Service - until the next [daily] reboot.....

Did you try opening dcomcnfg and click on and go through each of the
components to see if any of them came up in error?  It will usually fix
ones it finds that are.

Thanks very much.

 

I've run the script + restarted the IMA service & the errors have gone.
Hopefully they won't come back again....

No Probs....I think there are two different versions of dcomperm.exe
around. You can download my scripts including the working dcomperm.exe
from here:

http://www.jhouseconsulting.com/downloads/dcomperm.zip

 

The script should be well documented for you to follow J

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Thanks for this great response but I'm not following your statement
about setting permissions on the CDF.  Can you clarify further?

 

I've downloaded a version of dcomperm.exe but it is "unable to run on
this system".

 

Cheers.

The errors you get will be related to the COM Plus components and DCOM
permissions on the CDF service.

 

Firstly, ensure you have the COM Plus network access installed as per
Citrix KB article CTX112853

 

Secondly, set the correct permissions on the Citrix Diagnostic Facility
(CDF). I have a script that automates this as the server builds. It
simply uses a utility called dcomperm.exe to give members of the
"Distributed COM Users" the ability to local launch, local activate,
remote launch and remote activate the DCOM objects.

 

Thirdly, add the Citrix/Server administrators groups to the local
"Distributed COM Users" group.

 

Fourthly, if you are using Custom admins, ensure they have "view"
permissions on objects such as  "View My Knowledge Configuration", as
this will also cause some AMC permission issues.

 

Once you've made these changes, the DCOM errors you are seeing will be a
thing of the past.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Further to this - 

We are also getting the error below in the logs, and errors enumerating
the Citrix Access Management Console.

This seems to happen on reboot, and persists until we manually restart
the IMA Service on the affected servers.

Any ideas?

Hi All,

 

We're getting DCOM 10016 errors every time a citrix admin users the
Citrix Access Management console on all our citrix servers as below:

 

Before I start hacking away at DCOM config permissions, does anyone know
of a recommended citrix fix?

 

Cheers.
