Unable to use Environment Variable set by WEM at first logon of a new user with published apps

[Daniel Weszligling]

Hello guys,

we have an interessting problem with Environment variables set by WEM.

If a new user launch the first time a published application the Environment variables are listed under HKCU:\Environmentt but the user or an other application could not use this variables.

After logoff and logon again the user or an other application could use the variables.

If our new user launch a published Desktop first instead of a published app the user or an other applicatopm in the session could use the variable immediately.

 

Does anybody has an idea why published Desktops and published apps Show here an differently behavior?

 

Best regards,

Daniel

probably need to set a delay for published apps - applications are launching too fast

Have a look at VUEMAppCmd in the article above

Hey James,

thanks for your fast respons, tried it with this way you descripted in this blog post but without success.

I have to check some settings on my servers, if there are any autolaunch apps in the background and will test again.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

if it's speed, you can also add some extra delays to the VUEMAppCMD if needed but i rarely see the need :)

also make sure you are refreshing the cache on machine startup

Hey James,

we are refreshing the cache on machine startup.

I tested some more and could see that Citrix Files is configured for Autolaunch and kicks in while my published app is starting.

I will disable the Autolaunch of Citrix Files and test again.

Removed anything from the autolaunch but without success, if a new user without launch a published app the first time settings are missing.

At the second logon the user could use the apps and the settings are working.

hmmm that is odd - I have always been able to solve this using the VUEMAppCMD function
