I picked this tidbit out of a Patrick Rouse Article on imaging servers on msterminalservices.org. After you image a server run the following reg file(copy the below text and paste it in a text file and name it something .reg and then double click on it) It has always worked a champ for me. A reboot may be required after running it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA] "ServerHost"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\RUNTIME] "PSRequired"=dword:00000001 "ZoneName"="" "HostName"="" "HostId"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IMAService] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Citrix SMA Service] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CitrixWMIService] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cpsvc] "Start"=dword:00000004 This starts and sets the services proper and the sma service should start. (If it does the reverse and stops them run it again.)
