PAU rescue story. I've been using PAU for PS 4.5 for a few weeks now and I really like it. It is nice to be able to recover a deleted application and not have to try to remember permissions, users, audio on/off, etc... It really is a nice utility. - I was tinkering with my Citrix farm at my house when I wanted to play with streaming an application from one server to another. Yes, server to server streaming is possible. To have more than one application server though you have to be using SQL instead of Access for the datastore. So I installed SQL and did the usual "dsmaint /migrate" stuff and then changed the farm to point to the new datastore. - It all looked like it migrated okay until I logged into the web interface only to discover no applications. Crap, I had an empty datastore. No big deal, I'll revert back to the Access database. No such luck, for some reason it was now empty too. Go figure, I didn't back it up, it is just my 'play' farm I use for learning. Well, I learned some stuff today. - I changed the farm back to the SQL server and was about to begin the long process of redeploying my apps when I saw the PAU icon on the desktop. (cue the icon of the light bulb over my head) I launched PAU and within five minutes had my new empty datastore populated with all of my applications, users, permissions, etc.... I didn't have to lift a finger. The farm is now working 100% as it was before but the datastore is SQL now. - Now I am off to play with server to server streaming. Thank you PAU!

Go figure, should have been posted in PAU for PS4.5. Well, story still stands as it would have worked just as well in 4.0.
