Project Mobius Beta 2.1

Published: November 12, 2007 | Modified: November 12, 2007

Project Mobius Beta 2.1 includes some visual enhancements as well as some bug fixes. The main bug fixed in Project Mobius Beta 2.1 addresses an issue when migrating applications from a Citrix MetaFrame XP farm to a Citrix Presentation Server 3.0 or above farm. You may receive an error that states:


    Failed to copy published application ({App_Name}).
    

    

    Details: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type
    'MetaFrameCom.IMetaFrameApplication4', This operation failed because the QueryInterface
    call on the COM component for the interface with IID'{ED62F58D-63C2-11D4-94D8-00C04FB0F326}'
    failed due to the following error: no such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT:
    0x80004002 {E_NOINTERFACE)).

This issue has been resolved in the latest code.

While we're on the topic of Project Mobius, let me quickly address Project Mobius Beta 3. Project Mobius Beta 3 will include a "best effort" policy migration. What does a "best effort" policy migration mean you may ask? To explain this, I first need to tell you about my adventures with policies in MFCOM. Let's just say that the stability of policy manipulation in MFCOM is, um, less that 100%. I consistently received errors on certain methods when trying to manipulate polices programmatically that, according to the documentation, should have worked. That being said, I almost scrapped Beta 3 of Project Mobius altogether.

Fast forward to BriForum Europe 2007. I was chatting with Shawn Bass and Thomas Koetzing during a break and relaying my frustration concerning the roadblocks I was running into with programmatically manipulating policies via MFCOM. Then, a suggestion was made to me. Why not migrate everything you can in code. Then, create a report on anything that failed during the process. That way, you can get 85% - 90% of the way there programmatically on the policy settings and only have to do 10% - 15% manually. That sounded good to me, so I resurrected Beta 3 and started to implement this "best effort" policy migration. Look for this in Project Mobius Beta 3.

HRESULT E_FAIL

Posted on November 22, 2007 by Guest

Hi, do you have any idea what could cause the following error? "Failed to copy published application (Internet Explorer). Details: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component." Maybe a .NET Security issue? Both farms are PS 4.0 with HRP03 running on W2K and W2K3. best regards Chrissan

Icons via MFCOM

Hi, I have seen that you are able to get the ICONs from Applications to show in your tree. I didn't find a good documentation on howto do it. Is there a trick?

Doesn`t work nice when apps are in a folder hierarchy

Posted on May 22, 2008 by Guest

Well,
another "plaese fix" is the issue you get when drag&drop publ. apps that are organized in folders or even subfolders. Proj.M. throws an error, creates the folder on the desination, but does not copy the entry of that app.

Could you please post the error? This should work.

Apps are copied, but no usergrups are

nice tool, but although configured in the options,no user groups are migrated. Anyone can confirm this or give any hint?

:)

I keep getting the error mentioned above....

Hi Jason, this is Josef Zeiler, you remember????
I tried to use Moebius Beta 2.1 to migrate apps from a german PS 3.0 farm to a german PS 4.5 Farm. When trying to connect to the PS 3.0 farm I get the error you describe in the text above. Therefore I can not connect to the old farm. Do you perhaps have a quick tip for me?

As someone called "Dirk" complains about a similar problem, might be this occurs in german versions only?

Hi Josef,

Of course I remember you from BriForums and WIRM translations. Can you post the error message you are getting? I don't *think* it should have to do with German versions.

Mobius error

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Guest

Hi, I get the following error when launching Mobius from one of my farms. No apps are published to this farm and I want to use Mobius to publish my apps from one farm with 150 apps to this new farm.

Access is denied. (exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator on your farm. Also, are both farms in the same domain?

Yes both farms are in the same domain and I am logged into the presentation server on both farms with the same admin ID. It works on one but no the other?
