UPM Troubleshooter is a Windows-based standalone application that examines the live User Profile Management-enabled system in a single click, gives Profile Management Configurations, information on the Citrix products installed, facility to collect and send the logs along with system utilities dashboard to analyze the issue in an effective, simplified, quick and easier manner. Troubleshooter is also integrated with UPM Configuration Check Tool.
Use Case:
Let us imagine a scenario where you are the IT admin of the company and XenDesktop have been deployed with User Profile Management (UPM) enabled, surprisingly XenDesktop users are getting a temporary profile when they are logging-in. What would you do for debugging?
Typical way would be going through the time consuming and straining process of looking up logs and events to find out that the Store Path was not accessible because of a network error or wrong path.
With UPM Troubleshooter, we can easily identify by clicking the store path from the Troubleshooter UI.
Prerequisites and privileges needed:
Runs on physical, XenApp and XenDesktop environments. Supports from Windows 7 Platform onwards with both 32 bit and 64 bit Operating Systems.
Admin privileges are needed only if the logs are getting stored @ “%SystemRoot%\System32\Logfiles\UserProfileManager”, permissions are demanded upon request, apart from this UPM Troubleshooter runs in a user mode.
How to use:
UPM Troubleshooter tool is supplied in a zipped archive. Extract the contents of the zip file on the machine under test and run UPMTroubleshooter.exe.
Note: It doesn’t need any admin privileges. This tool can be used even when the user gets temporary profile.
