for various reasons.

WorkflowHostUnavailable

The task could not be started because the database connection is inactive.

CommunicationError

An error occurred while communicating with the service.

InvalidParameterCombination

Both PurgeJobOnSuccess and RunAsynchronously were specified. When running asynchronously, the cmdlet terminates before the job does, so it cannot clean up the completed job.

PermissionDenied

The user does not have administrative rights to perform this operation.

ConfigurationLoggingError

The operation could not be performed because of a configuration logging error

ExceptionThrown

An unexpected error occurred. For more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops logs.
