ESLT - Connect Failed. XML Service. Could not find application
Because I was creating lots of connections I was copying the
connections and then editing them with the appropriate
config. This doesn't seem to work too well. You need to create each
connection manually, this seems to resolve the problem

How can I find out why specific AD accounts are being locked daily?
I usually have luck doing it this way:
- Run LockoutStatus.exe.
- Enter the username and find out which of your DCs was the source of the lock ("Orig Lock" column) and when it happened ("Lockout Time" column).
- Examine the Security log on the DC at that time and you will usually be able to pinpoint it to a specific machine.
- Once you have the machine it's usually:
- User has a scheduled task running in their name and their password has changed.
- User has a disconnected RDP session.

Event ID 1071 — Terminal Server Connections
Resolve
Configure the terminal server to allow connections
To resolve this issue, configure the terminal server to allow connections by using the chglogon command-line tool.To perform this procedure, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To allow connections:
- On the terminal server, open an elevated Command Prompt window. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
- If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
- In the elevated Command Prompt window, type chglogon /enable, and then press ENTER.
Verify
To verify that connections to the terminal server are working properly, establish a remote session with the terminal server.Read More ->>
How to change password on Citrix License Server
1) Open the "server.xml" file in C:\Program
Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\conf. If on Win2k8 you will need
to open your editor as an admin.
2) Find the entry that looks something like
this:
<user firstName= "System" id="admin"
lastName="A dministrator "
password=" (ENC-01)UaFz 17cJ2oNQ+Lks kjkzUyVV5Zcm aoJCDCiuiusb B6zk2P0uR"
passwordEx pired="false "
privileges ="admin"/> ;
3) Erase the contents between the double quotes after "password= "
4) Enter a plaintext password so it looks like this: password=" test"
5) Change the passwordEx pired value to be "true"
6) Save the server.xml file.
7) Restart the licensing services. I also closed and re-opened the LAC but this may not be necessary.
8) Log into the LAC using user name "admin" and the password you set.
9) You will be prompted to change your password. Do it. By doing it, the new password will be encrypted in the server.xml file.
10) To check that everything is
working as planned, re-open the server.xml to check that the password
is now encrypted.

VDI not found when starting a VM on XenServer 5.6 SP2
When a VM is started on a XenServer host, domain 0, needs to ensure that all resources required by the guest VM are available for it to start. If a VM has had an unexpected shutdown, power failure, etc., we could have a dirty flag on the VDI, which is normally a logical volume in a volume group (Storage Repository). To clear this flag, we need to do the following actions:
1. Via the command line, type “xe vm-start vm=<name of VM>” and you will get a better error message than noted in the XenCenter, namely the UUID of the VDI that cannot be used exclusively by the guest VM.
2. Make a note of the UUID of the VDI and proceed to remove it from the pool database via the following “xe vdi-forget uuid=<UUID of the VDI>. You will then note that the VM no longer is attached to the VDI in XenCenter.
3. On the SR that the VDI is located on, proceed to the “Storage” tab and select “Rescan”. You should see the VDI with no name label on it.
4. To ensure we have the correct VDI, if there are many VDIs with no name, use the following command “xe vdi-list uuid=<UUID of the VDI>. You should see it with no name label or description. We can then label this VDI via “xe vdi-param-set uuid=<UUID of the VDI> name-label=<New name label>”. You should see the labeled VDI in the XenCenter.
5. On the VMs storage tab, select “Attach” and proceed to select the VDI on the SR.
6. VM should start without issue.

Provisioning: How to avoid failover delay
Note: Installing Provisioning Services affects the
following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters\OplocksDisabled.
Changing this registry key disables Windows Opportunity Locking, providing the
fastest possible failover time when contact with the active Provisioning Server
is lost. Without this change, failover times can take up to one minute. During
this time, Windows does not allow access to the vDisk file that was in use by
the failed Provisioning Server. By disabling Windows Opportunity Locking on
Provisioning Servers, the Stream Service can have immediate access to vDisk
files. However, this reduces caching of remote vDisk data for the entire
Provisioning Server.
OplocksDisabled REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Default: 0 (not disabled)
OplocksDisabled REG_DWORD 0 or 1

XS - Multipathing
Firstly Check true multipath
status (XenCentre can report it incorrectly). You should see two paths in Round
Robin for each Storage Repository
Multipath –ll
If this reports two per SR as
expected then we simply need to tell XenCentre to update/refresh its view this
is accomplished by running the below command, give it a minute and XenCentre
should then report the correct number of connections.
/opt/xensource/sm/mpathcount.py
If the multipath –ll doesn’t
report as expected the quickest and simplest way to resolve is to put the host
in maintenance mode, disable multipathing wait 2 minutes and then re-enable
multipathing. Wait a couple of minutes and then check the multipath status as
per above. Once happy you can leave maintenance mode. This seems to sort
the problem 9/10 times. Failing that if you may need to restart the
open-iscsi service, command below;
Service open-iscsi restart

No Local Storage after XenServer installation
After installation of XenServer 6.0.2 the Local Storage SR doesn't
appear.
Does running "fdisk -l" show you a device with 3 partitions
?
Example:
ro ot@xenserver
/ # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 1600000000 00 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/tr ack, 19452
cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 499 4008186 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 500 998 4008217+ 83 Linux
/dev/sd a3 999 19452 148231755 83
Linux
Does running "fdisk -l" show you a device with 3 partitions
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 1600000000
255 heads, 63 sectors/tr
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 499 4008186 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 500 998 4008217+ 83 Linux
/dev/sd
Then you should be able to create a Local Storage via the CLI
(XenCenter
is for shared storage). You need to know the SCSI device
associated with this 3rd partition. Listing
/dev/disk/ by-id via ls command will help.
Example:
ro ot@xenserver
/ # ls -l /dev/disk/ by-id/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 5 12:51
scsi-SATA_ ST3160815AS_ 9RX53PHQ ->
../../sda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 5 12:51
scsi-SATA_ ST3160815AS_ 9RX53PHQ-par t1 ->
../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 5 12:51
scsi-SATA_ ST3160815AS_ 9RX53PHQ-par t2 ->
../../sda2
lrwxrwx rwx 1 root root 10 Apr 5 12:51
scsi-SATA_ ST3160815AS_ 9RX53PHQ-par t3 ->
../../sda3
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx
lrwxrwxrwx
lrwxrwxrwx
lrwxrwx
Now you can use the sr-create command. You need to first get the host universal
unique Id via xe host-list
xe sr-create type=ext content-ty
pe=user host-uuid= <UUID of the XenServer
host> shared=fal se name-label ="Local Storage"
device-con fig:device=/ dev/disk/by- id/<SCSI
ID>
In my case, SCSI ID would be: scsi-SA TA_ST3160815 AS_9RX53PHQ- part3 and
the command to create would be:
xe sr-create type=ext content-ty pe=user
host-uuid= c9383181-27b e-43dc-9a39- bf9b801582e8
shared=fals e name-label ="Local Storage"
device-con fig:device=/ dev/disk/by- id/scsi-SATA _ST3160815AS _9RX53PHQ-pa rt3
xe sr-create type=ext content-ty
In my case, SCSI ID would be: scsi-SA
xe sr-create type=ext content-ty
