Rick,

 

Thanks for this information - you probably saved me a great deal of
grief. 

 

I see Citrix has a tool to fix the CTX_SMAUSER and it addresses some of
the things you mention.   Find it at:

I'm testing cloning with newsid, and running ctx_sma.exe afterwards.

        Hi Matthew,

         

        Sysprep should be ok. 

         

        I've got to admit though that the easiest way to make sure
things are perfect is to install PS4 after the cloning process.

         

        As an example of things that don't work out of the box, hardware
cloning plus Newsid will subtly break PS4 printing unless you repair the
DCOM and ICA listener permissions for the ctx_smauser. 

         

        I've got a couple of scripts that do 98% of what's needed if
you're using newsid but until I can port the whole thing to a VBscript
it's still "work in progress". Anybody like a project?

         

        regards,
