In addition to user.config, the folder contains another file named a2rx2s4u.newcfg. The user running the application has full control on the folder.

The application is run on a Windows 2019 Server with Citrix XenApp.

I've logged the activity of the app with Sysinternals Process Monitor. As far as I understand, the application tries to rename a2rx2s4u.newcfg to user.config replacing the existing user.config, and that seems to fail:

Unfortunately, I don't have a 32-bit Windows at hand, and as the application is x86, Process Explorer cannot resolve symbols.

It might be interesting that the stack trace contains "Sfrhook.dll" which is the "Citrix Special Folder Hook DLL". I think this DLL implements Special Folder Redirection in Citrix.

According to the Windows Error Codes reference, the error code 0xC0000369 means STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_OBJECT_PARAMETER:

The device object parameter is either not a valid device object or is not attached to the volume that is specified by the file name.

I do not understand this - the source and the target of the rename is in the same directory.

How to further narrow down this problem?

[EDIT1] The user profile seems to reside in an FSLogix profile container: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/configure-profile-container-tutorial

When using Profile Container, both applications and users see the profile as if it's located on the local drive.

[EDIT2] We now have another customer which experiences the same problem. This time: No Citrix, but "Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session" - also uses FSLogix Profile Containers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-10-multisession-faq

  • Hi Exaiwitmx, we are having a similar issue, Did you manage to find a solution? – Brmmmm Nov 16 '20 at 16:51
  • No. As a workaround, we now use a network drive instead - so the config file is not located in an FSLogix profile container any more, and the problem disappeared. – exaiwitmx Nov 17 '20 at 07:59
  • Note that you have to set adequate permissions on both the network share and the folder which contains the config file. Otherwise, you might run into this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/q/20946627/13039722 "Prepare the roaming user profile location [...] Change the share permission to allow the Authenticated Users group the Full Control permission." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-vista/cc766489(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN – exaiwitmx Nov 17 '20 at 08:02
  • Many thanks for the response, we had our own suspicions that it was related to FSLogix. – Brmmmm Nov 18 '20 at 19:49
  • We have exactly the same problem as described in this issue. How exactly did you solve the problem with the network drive? The path of the user.config file can't be determined by yourself! How did you set the path for the user.config file to the network drive? – Stefan Vettiger May 24 '22 at 06:25
  • @StefanVettiger We've created a custom settings provider. I haven't written it myself and unfortunately, I cannot ask the person who has any more, but I think it might be based on this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11398536/13039722 – exaiwitmx May 25 '22 at 12:04

We have found that in server 2019 it required the UAC virtualization setting needed to be disabled for user level writes. Using Process Monitor, we found that when the error occurred, it wrote to a UAC event log. For legacy applications this issue occurs when the user.config file is being copied from the "user.newcfg" file that is just a temporary file the the .NET code creates.
