<p>We are currently in the process of testing new Xen App server v5.0 and v6.0</p>
<p>I have installed XenApp v5.0 on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit server. Installation went fine, without any errors. The problem is that once the installation was successfully finished, Citrix Access Management Console won&#8217;t start when I&#8217;ve tried to start it from the Start Menu.</p>
<p><img src="http://wincert.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/access_management_console_ctx.PNG" alt="" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">Solution:</span></p>
<p>Solution depends on whether the Citrix Access Management Console takes more than 2 minutes to start, or if the Access Management Console won&#8217;t start at all.</p>
<p>If the <b>Management Console takes more than 2 minutes to load</b>, please do the following:</p>
<p>On 32-bit systems, create a config file named <b>&#8220;C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe.config&#8221;</b></p>
<p>On 64-bit systems, create a config file named <b>&#8220;C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe.config&#8221;</b><!--more--></p>
<p>Add the following contents in the file:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><;?xml version=&#8221;1.0&#8243; encoding=&#8221;utf-8&#8243;?>;</strong><br />
<strong><;configuration>;</strong><br />
<strong><;runtime>;</strong><br />
<strong><;generatePublisherEvidence enabled=&#8221;false&#8221; />;</strong><br />
<strong><;/runtime>;</strong><br />
<strong><;/configuration>;</strong></p>
<p>if, on the other hand, Citrix Management Console won&#8217;t start at all, please do the following:</p>
<p>Solution 1:</p>
<p>Open <strong>Start | Run | mmc.exe</strong></p>
<p>From the <strong>File </strong>menu, select <strong>Add/Remove Snap-In</strong>, and add the Citrix Access Management Console</p>
<p>Save the console to the desktop for later use (<strong>File | Save As</strong>)</p>
<p>Solution 2:</p>
<p>Alternatively, we can use Windows Explorer to open Access Management Console</p>
<p>To locate this file:</p>
<ul>
<li>For 32-bit operating systems, go to &#8220;<strong>\Program Files\Common Files\Citrix\Framework</strong>&#8220;</li>
<li>For 64-bit operating systems, go to &#8220;\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Citrix\Framework&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>For English, open the file &#8220;<strong>cmi20.msc</strong>&#8220;. For another language, open the folder of that language, and then open the file &#8220;<strong>cmi20.msc</strong>&#8221; in that folder.</p>
<p>You can also right click on the file and select to &#8216;<strong>send a shortcut to desktop</strong>&#8216;, to avoid navigating each time to above specified paths.</p>
