Thought I would follow-up with this to close the loop. I had to work with Citrix Support on this one. The missing reg values referenced in the NOTE section in my original post was key. Basically, I had to push these reg keys via GPO to get this resolved. Citrix itself was not creating them on login for some reason. I have listed them below. Some are dups.

I'm currently running Citrix 1903 and have Windows Server 2016 published desktops. We're also using UPM and have roaming profiles. Local profiles on the RD servers are deleted on log off. The initial issue I was facing was that the app tiles on the Start Menu and Pinned apps were disappearing when the user logged off then on again. I found a vbs script that kicks of a powershell script that refreshes all of these tiles. Works great. So I thought I would setup the vbs as a logon script that would then launch the powershell script on user login so the tiles would be refreshed each time. However, it doesn't appear to work. If I launch the vbs as the logged on user it works fine, but not as a GPO. I have the logon script GPO under User Configuration>Windows Settings>Scripts>Logon. On the Scripts tab I added my vbs script. I took the powershell script and placed it in a share and changed the path in the vbs script accordingly. Again, this all runs fine if I launch the vbs script from the desktop of a logged in user. If I run RSOP as the logged in user I can see the vbs in the results.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks!

I have a delivery controller in domain A and a storefront in domain B. I have added the DC from domain A to the SF in domain B and ensured that I have permissions to access the delivery group in domain A using my credentials from domain B. When I login to SF on domain B I can now see the shortcuts published from domain A. However, when I attempt to launch them I receive "Cannot start desktop...". Also, there are a couple of errors in the event logs on each side. Before I start down this road can it be confirmed that this is even doable? Domain A is a legacy domain and we still have many (non-citrix) resources here. Our new domain (domain B) is now our primary domain and there's a trust between the two.
DC in domain A:

This worked. Thanks!

Thanks, Jim. I'll give this a go. I'm pretty sure I played around with this in my legacy environment a year or so ago and couldn't get it to work but perhaps it will work in my new environment.

I have installed a 1903 environment and noticed that the policy "Disconnected Session Timer" only applies to a Desktop OS. In my environment I have a Server OS as my published desktop VDA. Is there a way to apply this policy to my Server as well?
Thanks!

Any updates on this? I have the exact same error on a new install of SF 3.20.0.34 on a fully patched Server 2016.

I'm running Citrix 7.18 on Server 2016. I have two delivery groups (Remote Desktop & App Server) that are both using a single storefront. I have published several apps from the app server and can access them from remote desktop through Citrix web and also have access to them in my remote desktop through Citrix Workspace 1903. I have an issue when I launch a published app from remote dekstop but can't figure out what's causing it.
When I log into the web storefront I can launch Remote Desktop and see my published app shortcuts on my desktop. When I launch an app it causes Citrix to initiate a second Remote Desktop session within my current remote desktop session along with the app. The app does open fine but in the background I've got a second remote desktop session partially launched and an Access Denied popup. I click OK on the popup and the second remote desktop session disappears and the app remains open. This only happens after launching the first app once I login to remote desktop. If I launch other apps after they seem fine.
NOTE: If I login to Remote Desktop for the first time, go to Citrix Workspace: Advanced Preferences > Shortcuts and Reconnect and check 'Show Applications in Start Menu' and 'Show Applications on Desktop' BEFORE doing anything else, I can then launch a published app and everything seems fine. Oddly, both of these options are configured in group policy but for some reason they're not being pulled in. I've also noticed that there are several reg keys in HKCU under Dazzle that don't populate until I manually check these two settings. There's something about manually setting these options, specifically the 'Show Applications on Desktop', that 'fixes' the issue.
Each time I see the second dekstop loading issue I'm seeing the following event on my Remote Desktop server:
Level: Warning
Source: rpm
Event ID: 7
ICA Connection request denied because the current user, [domain\username], is not the owner of the Session, [domain\username].
I have checked Studio as well as Task Manager on the RD and App servers prior to logging in and there are no existing/disconnected session for the user prior to login. I have read that this error can be seen if you try to launch an app before the system has completed a previous task or login, which makes sense. However that doesn't appear to be the scenario here. Although it seems that it's trying to loopback and launch another RD session when I launch a published app. I assume I'm seeing the Access Denied popup because one user cannot have more than a single RD session open.
Thanks for any assistance!

Closing out this one. This turned out to be a quirky issue with the ICA file. While setting up this environment I've tried different configurations and, while everyting was setup correctly, the profile I was logging in as was opening published apps using the wrong ICA file. I switched my receiver settings to put shortcuts on desktop instead of having the shortcuts in a desktop folder and all worked.

I'm running Citrix 7.18. I have two delivery groups (Remote Desktop & App Server) that are both using a single storefront. I have published several apps from the app server and can access them from remote desktop through Citrix web and also have access to them on my local desktop through Citrix Workspace. I have a couple of scenarios happening when I launch an app but can't figure out what's causing it.
Remote Desktop
When I log into the web storefront I can launch Remote Desktop and see my published apps in a folder on my desktop. When I launch an app it causes Citrix to initiate a second Remote Desktop session within my current Remote Desktop session along with the app. The app does open fine but in the background I've got a second Remote Desktop session partially launched and an Access Denied popup. I click OK on the popup and the second Remote Desktop session disappears but the app remains open. This only happens after launching the first app once I login to Remote Desktop. If I launch other apps after they seem fine.
Local Computer
I have my Citrix Workspace on my local computer pointed to the storefront and can access my published apps folder on my desktop. From here, when I launch an app, a remote desktop session opens instead of just the app. Unlike launching the published app in Remote Desktop as mentioned above, I don't see an Access Denied popup. The RD fully loads and I have to close it, leaving just the app open.
Each time this happens I'm seeing the following event on my Remote Desktop server:
Level: Warning
Source: rpm
Event ID: 7
ICA Connection request denied because the current user, [domain\username], is not the owner of the Session, [domain\username].
I have checked Studio as well as Task Manager on the RD and App servers prior to logging in and there are no existing/disconnected session for the user prior to login.

I found that if you export this key: HKLM\software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\appx\AppxAllUserStore from a working 2016 server and import it into a broken one, it will fix the startmenu not working. I also found that when its broken you will see keys missing from under the AppxAllUserStore key.
Holy reg hack, rbarber! This actually works for me so far! I've been messing with this for 2 weeks, playing with GPO, Inclusion/Exclusion lists, etc. Nothing worked! NO idea why those reg keys broke. Thanks for posting!
Logon script not executing.

Thanks for the response. I did tweak the vbs script to make the window visible while running the powershell script so I can see that it actually runs. Odd that it still doesn't appear to work. Not seeing any errors when it runs. I run the same script from the desktop and all tiles are refreshed.
I did find a Citrix article that describes the issue with VDA 7.15, I believe. Had to do with mirroring a particular folder AppData\Local\Microsoft\WIndows\Caches. Tried that thinking that perhaps it still applied in 1903 but no difference. I even removed the user profile so it was completely recreated on login to test but result is the same.
Thanks,
Matt
