Just thought I'd share this one - been removing and reinstalling the Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent on a number of XenDesktops via GPO ( http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127301). Unfortunately (well at least for me), when the software is removed a whole heap of services fail on restart - Server, Workstation, Browser, etc. Which makes reinstalling the software via GPO a little tricky (to say the least).
It looks like there are some references to PvsVmAgent left behind after uninstallation (I'm assuming this would be something to do with Citrix Provisioning Services, which I am not using, so don't know why it installs the dependent references). Doing a search in the Registry reveals various service configurations with PvsVmAgent listed in the data. Editing the entries to remove the PvsVmAgent line and restarting seems to do the trick of resolving these problems. Forgive me if people already know this and/or it is a documented error (I couldn't find much on Google myself), but I thought I'd maybe save someone some work if they encounter the same thing. -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
