Prevent annoying popup 'An account is not configured. Please contact your administrator'

[Aza Goudriaan]

Currently I'm upgrading my Win2012R2-XA7 golden master images with the latest VDA and Receiver. With the latest Receiver for Windows (4.4.1000) after starting the Receiver, users got a message 'An account is not configured. Please contact your administrator'.

I succeeded in preventing an 'add account wizard' on every login. but I also want to prevent users seeing such kind of a message.

 

I tried to rename the installer from CitrixReceiver.exe to CitrixReceiverWeb.exe, but without success.

 

Anyone an idea howto get rid of this issue?

 

Update:

I forgot to mention the following: I installed the Receiver by running 'CitrixReceiverWeb.exe /ALLOWADDSTORE=N'.

Due to autostart of the Connection Center, the message described above is being displayed. If I prevent starting the connection center at logon, the message is being displayed when users visit a StoreFront-site.

Are you assigning a StoreFront URL through Studio, Group Policy, or during Receiver command line installation?

 

Check HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle\Sites.

 

Check HKLM\Software\Policies\Citrix\ for StoreFront URLs.

Thanks for your quick response Carl!

 

No, there's no StoreFront URL configured. The receiver is installed on the session hosts to give users the possibility to logon to XA host in another environment (with a different user account). Users are told to browse to a StoreFront site (StoreWeb).

If using roaming profiles, maybe the users need to reset Receiver. Once reset, Receiver should prompt the user to enter an address unless you configured Receiver to not show the "Add Account" wizard. http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135438

I saw this article you mentioned. I tried to install Receiver with the /ALLOWADDSTORE=N parameter, That prevents starting a wizard for adding a StoreFront URL but makes no sense regarding the message being displayed.

 

I'm using mandatory profiles with RES zero profile technology.

[CarlStalhood]

In your mandatory, make sure there's nothing in HKCU\Software\Citrix.

I checked the ntuser.man. No Citrix related entries found.

Hi aza,

 

Did you find a solution for this popup ? Because I have the same problem, even with Receiver 4.5

[Bernd Lühmann]

Hi, you can rename this two files if you don't need the Popups/the function itself  in your enviroment:

 

%MAINDIR%\Receiver\ConfigurationWizard.exe
and
ConfigurationWizardPlugin.dll

 

 

this is the Solution Citrix provided to us because the regkeys don't work in both versions:-).

Hi Aza.

Did you resolve this? I have the same issue (also using res)

Hi Bernd.

This didnt work. Just to be sure. These are the files located at C:\ Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\Receiver

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

maybe this one would help you http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/373967-fix-how-to-get-rid-of-the-annoying-add-account-window-after-44-upgrade/

We are also using RES One workspace and have the same issue, suggestions in this topic didn't work. Did somebody resolved it yet?

[Dennis Jungschlager]

We also have the same issue with Receiver 4.6.

Tried the following options:

 

- Setting the HideAddAccountOnRestart registry key in the mandatory profile

- Setting the HideAddAccountOnRestart registry key through RES ONE Workspace

- Renaming the installer from receiver.exe to receiverweb.exe

- Renaming the configuration-files in the Receiver directory

- Installing the Receiver with the ALLOWADSTORE=N option

- Using the EnableX1FTU registry key under policies

- With or without configuring a storefront URL

 

I've tried all this options to no avail. Anyone got some more suggestions?
