                            When trying to start Citrix Desktop Studio on a remote machine, it fails and the following error message appears:
“MMC could not create the snap-in.”

                         
                     
                    
                    
                    
                    
                        
                            
                                
Resolution
                            
                            
                                Log on to the machine where Desktop Studio runs with a domain account that has elevated permission to authenticate to the Controller. A XenDesktop Administrator for the site OR a local administrator on the Controller will be able to run the console. This is by design.
 
Problem Cause
This error occurs when logged on to a machine with a local account. Desktop Studio must authenticate to the XenDesktop Controller in the site.
