XenApp 7.5 Error XDDS:EEBF43DB “DesktopStudio_ErrorId : DatabaseNotConfigured”

Despite the fact that Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 was listed as a supported operating system for XenApp 7.5 and XenDesktop 7.5, it did not actually work for us on this platform. 

Here’s our setup:

1. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 x64 Datacenter with 30GB of free disk space, connected to AD DC
2. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
3. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
4. Windows PowerShell 2.0 (included with Windows Server 2008 R2)
5. Visual C++ 2005, 2008 SP1, and 2010 Redistributable packages

The following databases were tested:

1. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express Edition with Advanced Tools
2. SQL Server 2012 Express Edition (installed by Controller)

No matter which database we tried, Citrix Studio failed to connect to the Delivery Controller after default installation with the error provided below. And we were not the only ones who got stuck here (see for more info: https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/339599-xendesktop-71-xenserver-62-trail-problem/).

In all cases database was successfully installed and we could get access with a domain admin account via SQL Management Studio.

Changes between localhost, NetBIOS name, IP address, computer name gave no success nor did re-installations of XenApp and SQL.

The only way to fix that was to switch to Windows Server 2012 64-bit – everything worked out of the box.
