It turns out my encounter with this error was due to a “bad” install of .NET 2.0. I could not perform a security update of .NET 2.0. I ignored the security update error and proceeded to perform the Citrix PS 4.5 install. Near the end of the Citrix server component installation, the installer began uninstalling all of the PS 4.5 server software components. The Citrix error returned after the uninstall was 10001.
In my earlier blog post I described how I uninstalled and reinstalled .NET 2.0 (a requirement for PS 4.5). After I reinstalled and patched .NET 2.0 I was able to perform a satisfactory PS 4.5 server installation.

Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2. When patching the server’s .NET 2.0 for security update – encountered an error message. Rebooted and attempted to patch once again – same error. Tried to uninstall .NET 2.0 from the Add/remove control panel applet. Could not uninstall – another error message.
Found this link (read Daniel’s reply) and then downloaded the utility from this link. The utility performed the “cleanup” after I selected .Net 2.0 from the pull down list. Other .NET versions listed in the utility were 1.1, 2.0. 3.0 and 3.5.
After the cleanup, reboot the server, launch Windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download and reinstall the .NET 2.0 framework. After the install, reboot. Don’t forget to obtain the .NET 2.0 security update after the reboot and then reboot once again for good measure.

Moving a large group of terminal server user home folders from one clustered hard drive share to another on a SAN. If you try to manually copy or “move” the home folders, the NTFS permissions on the new home folders are not retained and users are not able to access their directories on the new hard drive share properly.
Solved by:
Creating a backup of the original home directories using ntbackup.exe and then restoring them on the new hard drive share. The original NTFS permissions are retained for all files and folders.
After restoring the home folders to the new location, return to the old home drive share and delete the previous home folders.
If you have difficulty deleting folders and files from the old home drive share because of errors like this “Cannot delete file: Access is denied”, then use a utility like Unlocker. It’s a free delete utility and works quite well.
Don’t forget to update the terminal server home folder location in each user’s profile. Use ADModify.net for bulk account changes like this.

Open a command window and type:
change user /INSTALL <Enter>
If the message that returns is “INSTALL mode does not apply to a Terminal server configured for remote administration”, the application version of terminal services is not installed on the server.
