Citrix DSCHECK doesen’t work … “No resource module ImaMsgsUI.dll found.”
When you try to make a Citrix Datastore validaiton with DSCHECK you receive the error message :
” No resource module ImaMsgsUI.dll found. “
Cause:
Probably you are on a Citrix server with UAC,
Solution:
Launch the command line with administrative privileges, “run as administrator” before you make the dscheck.

Check Citrix XenApp published application properties with a PowerShell script
To avoid troubles with session sharing, you have to keep in mind that you set the application properties which are relevant for the session and his virtual channels in the same way.
This is for example the properties like color depth or the audio setting.
To check this, I’ve written a small PS script which loops trough all application, reads the application properties and shout if something is not like expected.
Show all apps which are not published as 32bit Color:

write-host "This Script show all Apps in Workergroup National which are not in 32 bit color depth published"
Add-PSSnapin Citrix.XenApp.Commands
#$applications = Get-XAApplication #Gets the published applications
$applications = Get-XAApplication -WorkerGroupName National
foreach($app in $applications){
#Check to see if the application audio is disabled
if($app.ColorDepth -ne "Colors32Bit"){
$app_no32b+= "$app is not published in 32 bit.`n"
}
}
echo "`nApps not 32bit: "
echo $app_no32b
Write-Host "Press any key to continue …"
$x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
Change the green Workergroup to your workergroupname, it’s also possible to run this script without the parameter -WorkerGroup, but then all published content will be recognized as “non-32-bit”.
If you want see which application has audio disabled just change the attribut in the loop:
---<snip>--- foreach($app in $applications)
{ #Check to see if the application audio is disabled if($app.AudioType -eq "none")
{ $app_noaudio+= "$app audio is currently disabled.`n" } } echo "`nApps Audio disabled: " echo $app_noaudio
---<snip>---
This easy loop you can recycle to check every application attribute, all possible attributes of an app you can get with an
Get-XAApplication -BrowserName "thebrowsernameofourapp"
