PVS 5.6 SP1 Console crashes when adding a Device to AD using German SQL-Server

Hello everybody – it’s some days ago since my last blog post and today this is only a really short one:

In the last days we had an error with our Citrix Provisioning Server 5.6 SP1 Console – always when we tried to add an Computer-Account to the Active Directory the console crashed. When you looked inside the Details of the crash info it started with “Bei der Konvertierung eines nvarchar-Datentyps in einen datetime-Datentyp liegt der Wert außerhalb des gültigen Bereichs.”.

If you checked the Active Directory the Computer-Account was available/created.

To Fix this “error” you just have to change the default language of the user (which is used to connect to the PVS-Database) to English. After that the error is directly gone

Happy provisioning
