Xen Desktop will let domain admins sign on to DT, but not users

I just set up a Xen dt environment. It works very well for domain admins signing in, but if a user signs in, I get...
"The remote server failed to execute the application launch request. Please contact your administrator for further details." Followed by, "Citrix online plug-in could not contact the server. Please check your network connection."
Again, using domain admin credentials from the very same workstation the very next instant works fine.

I have created an AD group in by DT group under PROPERTIES>BASIC>USERS that are supposed to, I think, have sign-in rights but no dice.

My DCC and Virtual Desktop host are VMware virtual machines.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Have you added this group to the "remote desktop users group"

The group was a member of local admins. That said, I added it to the local "remote desktop users group" to be sure but without any luck. Thanks anyway.

The name of your farm is "Farm1"? That's the default name.

Under DDC, farm name is ...

Xen_TestFarm

So no. Why would only users be directed to Farm1 and admins to Xen_TestFarm?

Thanks!

dnsguru44

That means that the Farm name in the WI is incorrect and is still set to the default which is Farm1. Verify your settings in the WI management console.

sorry, WI = ???

if it's web interface, I'm using the online plugin.

turned out to be an issue on the DDC. Added the xen desktop users' group to the local admin group of the DDC server and all's well. That said, I'm not comfortable with giving users that much access. If they knew they could log on, someone might get the bright idea to reconfig the DDC. Any thoughts?
