Remove invalid characters from the name of any network resources used by the XenDesktop host connection.

Problem Cause

• The -NetworkMapping variable of the New-ProvScheme command contains characters that are not valid for a path as defined by Microsoft.

• The full set of invalid characters can vary by file system. For example, on Windows-based desktop platforms, invalid path characters might include ASCII/Unicode characters 1 through 31, as well as quote ("), less than (<), greater than (>), pipe (|), backspace (\b), null (\0) and tab (\t).
