Symptoms
- CID Agent reporting under one machine name in the Event Log, while deployed using Citrix Layering.
Guide
Summary
Prefered method for deploying CID in Citrix Layering deployment.
While running pooled desktops with Machine Creation Services.
Should work both on Platform or App layer
1. Install the CID as Admin
2. After successful install, run the ProvisioningServer_MasterImagePrep.bat as Administrator
a. Verify the two CA cert files were removed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Liquidware Labs\Connector ID\ca
b. Verified the Liquidware Services were stopped in services.msc
c. Set all three services to Manual Startup
i. Service name: Tntgrd
ii. Service name: tntupdsvc
iii. Service name: tntuidsvc
1. Run Citrix Applayering Finalize Script to shutdown image
2. Finalized Layer from Citrix Applayering
3. Setup a GPO to Start the 3 Liquidware Services and set them to Automatic
a. Apply this GPO to the Pooled Desktops only.
b. Make sure to exclude the master image so it doesn’t start these on image creation.
4. Add the Layer or Version to Image and Published out.
5. Update the Machine catalog with the image and reboot the machines.
An alternative to this that is to setup a Startup script to Stop the services, remove the two cert files and then Start the service again. The issue with this set up will be the possiblity of loosing the login data or incorrectly assigning the login data to the wrong image once the child vm boots up.
