start-> services.msc
find the service name "IMA Service" and right click -> start
hope you are using citrix administrator account (your login)

if you dont login with citrix administrator login credentials, then you can do the following:

replace the following line :
[array]$ActiveSessions = Get-XASession | Where-Object { $_.Protocol -eq "ICA" -and $_.State -eq "Active"}

with this:
[array]$ActiveSessions = Get-XASession -Account domain\user | Where-Object { $_.Protocol -eq "ICA" -and $_.State -eq "Active"}

replace domain\userA with actual domain and username above
