Hey Folks….
Phil here… just thought I would share the following with you.
Scenario
Cause:
Word needs the SYSTEM account so this needs to be added.
However, when testing , Word still failed to launch. We still see the splash screen and then we exit.
What could be wrong?
Cause :
After investigation, we saw that Adding the system account , Word would still fail. This is because The rule assignment for the SYSTEM account via the object picker is written for a Group and not User.
You can validate this by looking at the “.fxa” file that the rule editor writes out.
0x00000012 S-1-5-18 NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM 0 0
The 0x00000012 indicates
- Its a Group
- The Rule is not assigned
You may also have 0x00000011
- Its a Group
- The Rule is assigned
It should be 0x00000006 unassigned rule (you may also choose to have 0x00000005 assigned rule) both indicate it is a User assignment.
Workaround
To resolve this , edit the assignment file (.fxa) in Notepad and change the setting :
To the following
Word should now launch as expected.
This is a known issue and is scheduled to be fixed in the next release cycle of FSLogix
Until Next Time…..
