If you are running the IntelliTrace stand alone collector to collect the trace against an Application Pool which is running under the identity “.\<username>” then you are likely to run into the following exception,

Start-IntelliTraceCollection : Some or all identity references could not be translated.

At line:1 char:29

+ Start-IntelliTraceCollection <<<< "FabrikamFiber.Web" C:\IntelliTraceCTP\collection_plan.ASP.NET.trace.xml C:\Intell

iTraceLogs

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Start-IntelliTraceCollection], IdentityNotMappedException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException,Microsoft.VisualStudio.IntelliTrace

   .PowerShell.StartIntelliTraceCollectionCommand

Steps to reproduce the issue

The application pool “FabrikamFiber.Web” is using the identity “.\Admin”

Workaround

Change the identity of the application pool to <MachineName|Domain>\<UserName>. So, in the above work around if I change the identity to “Production\Admin” then the IntelliTrace does not throw an exception.
