When deploying PVS 6.1, we had difficulty with the XenDesktop Setup wizard. \u00a0PVS couldn’t see the template from SCVMM, and there were few resources available as it didn’t appear many Citrix users employed Hyper-V for PVS. \u00a0Ultimately we ended up calling Citrix for support and after a few days they revealed that it was imperative (yet at the time, undocumented) that you choose “Customization not required” when creating your template. \u00a0About 6 months after our support call, Citrix published CTX134843<\/a>\u00a0to warn unsuspecting users of the trouble lurking ahead.\u00a0Suffice it to say I was looking forward to a smooth deployment with Provisioning Services 7 now that the surprises were out of the way.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. \u00a018 months later, there still aren’t a lot of users out there using Hyper-V actively posting (as compared to ESX or XenServer). \u00a0So when we ran into an issue using the XenDesktop setup wizard in PVS, I wasn’t particularly thrilled. \u00a0We tinkered and toyed with CDF traces and got yet-another-cryptic-message:\u00a0KeyNotFoundException. \u00a0After spending a bit of time viewing the powershell commands in the CDF trace it wasn’t entirely clear what was going on. \u00a0To make matters stranger, deploying VMs from the streamed VM wizard actually worked. \u00a0The same VM template still worked on PVS 6.1 as well.<\/p>\n

At this point, we decided to contact Citrix Support. \u00a0We had assumed our template was ok given that the streamed VM wizard completed, but the XenDesktop wizard hadn’t. \u00a0While waiting for Citrix to get back to us, we stumbled upon the answer. \u00a0In PVS 6.1, your SCVMM Virtual Machine template did not require a network connection. \u00a0However, in PVS 7.0, you must attach the network adapter to a logical network or the VM creation will fail.<\/strong><\/p>\n
