App-V packages not streaming on VMWare View VDI

Question

Hello All,
We are currently running SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 on VMware View VDI's.
We maintain our golden image using SCCM OSD.
NExt to applications installed in the image, we are also using app-v packages.
Before we can deploy the image, it needs to be stripped (or sysprepped) so as to garantuee that the clones will not report to the Management Point using the same SCCM Guids etc.
There for we perform the following:
net stop "CcmExec"
Remove-Item c:\windows\smscfg.ini
Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine\SMS | Remove-Item
Get-wmiObject -Namespace root\ccm\invagt -class inventoryActionStatus | where {$_.inventoryactionID -eq "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}" } | remove-wmiobject
Clear-EventLog -logname Application
Clear-EventLog -logname System
Clear-EventLog -logname Security
Get-ChildItem c:\windows\ccm\logs | remove-item
When we deploy the new version of an image, we see that APP-V packages are not being streamed immediately to the clients.
While troubleshooting, I noticed that whenever I login and run a Machine Policy Evaluation & Retrieval cycle, that a ccmrepair and ccmrestart is being executed.
After the restart, the client immediately starts streaming the App-V packages.
Can anyone help me in pinpointing where the ccmrestart gets triggered from?
I've searched to already a lot of logs (ccmexec, execmgr, policyagent, policyevaluator,..) for the root cause but am unable to find it.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I just ran the action "Machine Policy Evaluation & Retrieval cycle" on my client, the Ccmrepair and Ccmrestart were not being executed from the logs.
You could trigger the CcmRestart by running "%windir%\CCM\CcmRestart.exe".
