In XIA Configuration Server version 7 we added the ability to document Microsoft PowerShell settings In version 7.1 we're updating this and also including information about the WinRM (WS-MAN) configuration. WinRM is the technology that underpins PowerShell remoting and can be configured to use either HTTP or HTTPS as the transport protocol. XIA Configuration can help your network audit by providing information on Whether WinRM is installed Trusted hosts settings Whether auto create listeners is enabled Whether the compatibility listener settings are enabled in Group Policy Details of manually created listeners.

We've had a problem today installing App-V which I thought I'd share Error 25109.The installation program could not create the configuration data store. Please see the installation log file for more information. We were using a local SQL Express database and even though we were running as a Domain Admin on the test domain it turns out the user account didn't have sysadmins rights on the SQL server. A simple and quick fix. If you're having problems it's worth running SQL Management Studio as the user you are running the installation as and trying to create the database and checking for errors.

XIA Configuration helps Managed Support Providers (MSPs) from large to small, automate technical documentation at each phase of the MSP lifecycle. For more information see the following page of our site http://www.centrel-solutions.com/XIAConfiguration/features.aspx?feature=ManagedServiceProviders

Interested in Windows server audit? Why not check out our audit and documentation tool ? When installing the Windows Management Framework 3.0 you may see the error "The update is not applicable to your computer". Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64 Windows6.0-KB2506146-x64 Windows6.0-KB2506146-x86 Windows6.1-KB2506143-x86 This error is slightly confusing as the update may be applicable but the prerequisites are installed.

Having been working with Citrix XenApp products over the last two weeks we've been inundated with problems with the product. The latest seems to be that the Get-XALoadBalancingPolicyFilter does not provide the information correctly. When running the command Get-XALoadbalancingFilter you get the same PowerShell output regardless what is configured in the user interface "Any Connection" or "Any connection that meets the any of the following filters". It is therefore impossible to use PowerShell to accurately determine the current access control configuration settings. It's also not very reassuring that the text in the user interface is written incorrectly. The following scrreenshot displays the user interface with different configuration settings and the corresponding PowerShell cmdlet output incorrectly showing the same configuration settings. We've raised this issue with Citrix, if anyone else has any experience of this please let us ...

This can occur because the user running the store is configure in IIS as the Application Pool identity and this user account doesn't have access to the SQL Server database. Check the SQL server configuration and grant the user access to the database.
