Hi Rick, Thanks for your response. The image and new SID's creation looks good. I'v forgotten to add that I use Acronic + sysprep. Right ica-lister (tscc.msc) are correct. Ctx_SMa is alive and kicking. Applaucher is a great application but launching an application give the same problem. Any other ideas?

Published Apps failed to start. Hi Michel, One thing to watch when you clone a PS4 server, depending on the sid change technology used, is that the DCOM and ICA listener ACLs for the ctx_smauser may or may not be propagated properly. What can happen is that the ACLs are stored as user SIDS in the registry, and if the machine SID portion of the user SID doesn't get changed, the ACLs will end up referring to unkwon users. I'm not acquainted with Acronis so I can't advise you as to whether it did the SID change properly or not. My suspicion is it didn't. Rn the terminal server connection configuration utility (start > run > tscc.msc) and check on the permissions of the ICA listener. If the ctx_smauser is there, Acronis did the job properly, if it isn't then you'll see a user SID instead of a username and you'll have to recreate the ctx_smauser entries for the Citrix print Manager service. Check the citrix knowledgebase article CTX106393 - How to Recreate the Ctx_SmaUser Account <http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX106393> for details on how to do this. One big help in testing the application launch process is the EvokeIT Applauncher (http://www.envokeit.com/Downloads/Tools/EnvokeIT_PS_4_App_Launcher_Stan dard_Edition.zip) <http://www.envokeit.com/Downloads/Tools/EnvokeIT_PS_4_App_Launcher_Stan dard_Edition.zip)%20which> which let's you run any published apps in a defined environment. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Michel Bos Sent: Tue 31/10/2006 4:00 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Help needed. Published Apps failed to start. Hi there, Google and searching some citrix forums didn't help me so solve this strange problem. Situation: Test environment PS4 (with all rollup packs and last hotfix installed) on W2K3 server (up to date). 3 servers cloned with Acronis, no strange error messages in eventvwr. Desktop and 2 applications not load balanced published (notepad / Navision). Using last citrix client 9.20. Policy's and flex framework installed and configured (working fine). Problem: RDP works fine, Desktop via ICA works fine. After starting a published application and the credentials are given in the profile is loaded and scripts are running fine. After 10 seconds I receive the message that the application failed to start. After 30 seconds the log-off script are running and the cached profile is delete. I also read the citrix technotes about troubleshooting login problems (ctx104708 / ctx 106250). I'm (almost) sure that it has to do something with cmstart.exe or icast.exe (see ctx106250 / point 6). Does anybody know how I can debug this part of the login-proces? The debug information of userint.exe looks good. Thanks in advance!
