Question

Which action should a Citrix Administrator take when using Provisioning Services to provision additional Windows Server 2012 server OS machines in a machine catalog?

Options

ACreate a vDisk for the OS.
BAdd the OS to the vDisk store.
CCreate a site for virtual machines.
DAdd the virtual machines to the device collection.

Explanation

When expanding a PVS-provisioned machine catalog with additional machines, the correct action is to add the new virtual machines to the existing device collection in Provisioning Services.

Common mistakes.

A. Creating a new vDisk is only required during initial PVS setup; when adding machines to an existing catalog, the vDisk already exists and must be reused rather than duplicated.
B. Adding an OS to the vDisk store is not a valid PVS operation for this scenario - the vDisk store is a repository of existing vDisk files, and adding new target devices does not require modifying it.
C. Creating a new site in Provisioning Services is an organizational administrative action for separating PVS environments and is not required or appropriate when simply adding more target devices to an existing deployment.
