App-v Management Server Service fails to start with error %%536912451

"The Application Virtualization Management Server service terminated with service-specific error %%536912451."

This is the error I got when moving my app-v database from a single host machine to a NLB cluster following the directions at  http://blogs.technet.com/b/appv/archive/2011/08/31/how-to-configure-app-v-with-microsoft-network-load-balancing-nlb.aspx.

There are two problems I found to cause this issue.

1.) The service account that is used to for the App-v management service must have access to the app-v directory as well as the IIS default website. If you want to do granular permissions you are welcome to try but I just make the service account an admin (I know its bad practice)

2.) If you are not making a new database with the new App-v installation you will need to add your machine to the server group inside app-v. The easiest way to do this is by using the management console.



If you are unable to open the Management console you will have to update it within SQL. The table you are looking for is dbo.SERVERS
