How to find your Datastore for XenApp

Please check out www.kaztechsolutions.co.uk for more of my technical posts, alternately please call us on 01932 268289.

Sometimes you inherit a customer/client that you have no details for and therefore cannot find out certain information quick enough!!!

If you need to find out where the Datastore is for a certain installation just check the following regkey. 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\IMA\Database Settings.

Citrix Licensing Service will not start!!!

Please check out www.kaztechsolutions.co.uk for more of my technical posts, alternately please call us on 01932 268289. 

OK I know I've not been working with Citrix as long as some people but this is the first time I've come across this this problem...  For some reason on a customers Citrix environment the Citrix Licensing Service would not start...

you will get an event id something like the following


Faulting application name: lmadmin.exe, version: 11.9.0.0, time stamp: 0x4d6bbff6
Faulting module name: lmadmin.exe, version: 11.9.0.0, time stamp: 0x4d6bbff6
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0005e222
Faulting process id: 0x2a58
Faulting application start time: 0x01cd65da86623391
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Licensing\LS\lmadmin.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Licensing\LS\lmadmin.exe
Report Id: c469cc23-d1cd-11e1-ab7b-0050568070dc


The client was running License server 11.9.0 Build 11011 and to resolve this issue i had to rename the "C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\conf\concurrent_state.xml" and then start the licensing service again and all works fine.

The issue is resolved in License server 11.10

New Microsoft Excel 2010 Worksheets are Not Shown in Taskbar

Please check out www.kaztechsolutions.co.uk for more of my technical posts, alternately please call us on 01932 268289. 

I came across this today when you open a new Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet, the new sheet is not shown on the taskbar, only the main Microsoft Excel icon is shown on the taskbar. 

This is because the Excel hook is not injected into any process because the seamless engine component (Sehook20.dll) responsible for the fix fails to load into the user session. Sehook20 fails to load because active accessibility hook is disabled in the Seamless Flags settings. Seamless flags are often used when troubleshooting problematic display issues.

I got round it by adding the following registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\ExcelHook
Name: Enabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1
