I can answer your question, however I do have to say that I’m no longer with Citrix and recommend contacting their technical support team for assistance with XenAppPrep.

With that said, all you need to do is run XenAppPrep immediately followed by sysprep. Sysprep will take care of all the Windows stuff for you.

Thanks very much.

I found the problem to be with the registry settings located in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Rade\signature. When I reinstalled the offline plug-in it recreated all the values in that key. If I manually change the values back to the way they were, I get the same error “failed to get sandbox ID”. I do not know how these values are being assigned but, at least I know what the problem is. This will definitely need to be added to the XenAppPrep methods!

I noticed in the RadeOffline.dsn file that it clears the “WSID=[ServerName]” line but leaves the “WSID=” without a server name. Not sure if that matters or not. Didn’t seem to make a difference with me playing with that line.

If I uninstall/reinstall the Offline plug-in on the clone everything seems to work again.

XenAppPrep clears the LHC when its run from command-line. I no longer work for Citrix, however if you’d like to get these filed as feature requests I’d recommend contacting Citrix support. They can get your request routed to the right team. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Thanks for a great tool. It works a treat!
I just have a few queries that I’m hoping you can assist with. Firstly we are deploying our XenApp servers with PVS using standard image mode with cache on the client’s HDD.
We wanted to move the LHC to the client drive (D:) to allow the IMA service to start should the Data Store be unavailable. My question regarding this is does XenAppPrep clear the LHC at boot-up? because if it does there is no benefit in moving the LHC.
The other query I have is more of a feature request than anything else. When a XenApp server communicates with the license server it creates a license cache file that gives it 30 days grace, however on with PVS in standard mode this license file is lost at reboot, which means that if a XenApp server comes up and the license server is not available users cannot log in. Is it possible to modify XenAppPrep to copy the cache file to a local client drive and copy it back to the boot drive if required?
Again: thanks for the tool, it is really useful.
