Why each option
When importing Provisioning Services-based VMs into a machine catalog, the administrator must select the Streamed machine type because PVS streams the OS image to target devices over the network.
Pooled machine type is associated with Machine Creation Services (MCS) non-persistent VMs, not PVS-streamed machines.
Existing machine type is used when importing physical machines or VMs that are already deployed and managed outside of MCS or PVS.
Citrix Provisioning Services works by streaming a vDisk (OS image) to target virtual machines at boot time rather than storing a local disk image. The 'Streamed' machine type in the catalog creation wizard is specifically designed to accommodate PVS-provisioned machines where the OS is delivered via streaming, distinguishing them from MCS-provisioned or existing machines.
Dedicated machine type is for persistent, statically assigned VMs where users always return to the same machine, unrelated to PVS streaming.
