Hi all,
i've just update a pvs farm of two server (ws2012r2) to v1912, and as soon as the streaming service start both server start to logging:
1) Source: StreamProcess, EventID: 102, Description: No suitable licenses are present on Citrix license server [...etc]
2) Source: StreamProcess, EventID: 106, Description: Currently in grace period [...etc].I've double checked license server and it's operating normally (our CVAD farm does not have any license error or warning), and it was correctly update to v11.16.3.0 build 29000; also license file have an SA date of 2020.1231 (i've redownloaded from citrix.com)
i've found this https://www.bechtle.com/de-en/news/bechtle-blog/it-loesungen/datacenter/citrix-releases-virtual-apps-desktop-1912-ltsr-upgrade-caution
does anyone else has the same beahvior on pvs 1912?

Hi guys,
for the initial issue of home page and IE settings, Citrix have suggested the following workaround for the existing profiles.
1. Logon to the ICA session and open the registry.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main and rename it to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main1.
3. Run IE and set the home page to your_homepage and close the instance.
4. Logoff
5. Logon again and run IE. You should see your_homepage as your start page. Further changes to the home page also will work.We've tested on prod env and i can confirm is working.
Now we have to rollout via gpo/script to existing users profiles, while for new profiles is still valid the first workaround suggested.
Cheers,
Ste

Hi all,
we have a possible workaround from Citrix; unfortunately, it requires the recreation of a the user profile, so if your enviroment is already in production with configured profiles, maybe you don't want to lose them all - but for new enviroment could be a solution.
Long story short, you've to modify the default user profile adding the key "Main" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
To do so please follow the steps outlined below. Please make a backup of registry beforehand in case of any issues and we are required to roll back
The location of where new profiles copy their registry settings is from %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT, we need to edit this and add the mentioned key above.
1. Launch Regedit as Administrator, navigate to HKEY_USERS and left click
2. Go to the File menu and select 'Load Hive'
3. Browse to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT , select and give it any name e.g. Default Profile
4. Once loaded browse to the new registry hive, expand and add the following key HKEY_USERS\Default Profile\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
5. Once completed go to File, Unload Hive and the changes will have been savedNote that the steps outlined above are configured locally so should be implemented on the server that the new user will be logging into initially i.e. if using UPM you want the initial login to take place on the server that has the above configuration in place so that the profile uploaded to the UPM profile share has this setting in place.
Or, you can configure via UPM policies a Default user profile to load from a network share.
Again, please note that changes will only take affect for new profiles created from this modified Default profile.
We asked Citrix an 'ETA' for a fix but we still don't have.
Hope this helps,
bye

Well I have tried installing the VDA without UPM using some switches and this doesn't seem to have helped which is disappointing.
Useful information, as i though that was UPM's fault....
What installation switch did you use to install VDA without UPM? as soon as i can i'll try this on my own lab;
about your previous question (VDA version) we start to see the issue with VDA 7.5, then updated to 7.6, with the same behavior.

Hi Martin,
unfortunately no.
I've opened a case with Citrix support, but still no solution/workaround.
Meanwhile i've update upm to v5.2.1, but did not resolve the problem - strangely you don't find this update under support/hotfix section, but under xenapp 6.5 -> component update after feature pack 2 -> profile management 5.2.1
It seems a bug related to upm, hope Citrix will fix soon!
I'll post any update on this case.
regards,
Stefano

Hi Julien,
with the vda 7.6 is installed by default Citrix profile manager, version 5.2; i've searched also if there is some update /fix, but none find.
But please note that the problem occurs even without configure at all the citrix upm!
Any other with similar issue?
thks

Hi all,
i've a strange behavior with xa 7.6 and 2012r2 vda.
I was able to reproduce the issue in a clean lab enviroment installed from scratch.
the enviroment:
(domain w2012r2 level, 1 dc)
1 server with ddc 7.6, storefront, db (sql express) - w2012r2
1 server with vda 7.6, terminal server, w2012r2
standard windows patch (update at january 2015), no citrix hotfix in place.
the issue:
when a standard user open IE11 and set a personal home page, this is not retained after a graceful logoff and login. Digging more in detail, i've seen that the registry hive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
is correctly filled during the session, but when user logoff the registry is not write into the NTUSER.DAT.
for troublehooting purpose, the user profile is not configured / managed (local profile) and there is NO policy at all in the lab, neither antivirus.
please note:
i've verified that with a windows 2012r2 server with RDS roles the issue does NOT occur so i suppose is something related to Citrix (UPM?)
I've also disabled (via services) the Citrix UPM but no change.
Anyone with same issue with IE11 on 2012R2?
I've read something similar:
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/357284-ie11-on-2012-r2-roaming-usernames-and-passwords/
but at the moment i've not verified if i have the same problem too.
any help is appreciated!
thks
Stefano
PVS 1912 goes in grace period with valid license server and file
in Provisioning Server for Desktops

Hi all,
only redowload of license file does not work; i've had to return the license and reallocate again, download the newly generated license file and now the pvs stream service is out of grace period and not reporting any warning on license.
thank you all for your suggestions.
