I have had a similar problem to your original one with the same error. I think you may have found the dsmaint /recreatelhc command will have fixed this up. The IMA service would then have started ok. That comment obviously doesn't help you not having citrix in add remove programs though! ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lonnie Truskowski Sent: 28 March 2005 14:54 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Server restore problems I believe I solved my problem. In add and remove programs when There is a section listed in the Citrix Metaframe item that is a link to support. When I select that there is an option to repair. I ran that, it asked to reboot and now my server is available again. However, this server is no longer attached to any pf my published apps in the CMC. I modified one of the apps and assigned the server and the apps works. It seems to be fixed but now I don't have a Citrix Metaframe entry in my Add and Remove Programs, is this a problem? -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lonnie Truskowski Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 1:53 PM To: Thin Subject: [THIN] Server restore problems I have a three server farm, W2k MF FR2 SP2. One of my servers needed to be restored but I was only able to use a backup from a different server. I did a complete restore, removed the newly restored server from the domain and ran sysprep. When the server came back up I renamed it back to it's original name and re-joined the domain. Now I can not connect the sever to the farm. I tried chfarm, uninstalling Meteframe, nothing is working.
