Question
Scenario: A Citrix Administrator needs to use Provisioning Services to create a vDisk from a target device that has the latest hotfixes and security updates applied. The master target device is a Windows 7 virtual machine running on XenServer. What should the administrator do to create a new vDisk from the target device?
Options
- ARun the Imaging Wizard on the target device.
- BRun the 'Add personal vDisk storage' wizard in Citrix Studio.
- CRun the target device software to capture the target device hard drive.
- DUse the 'Export' option in XenServer to create a vDisk from the target device.

Why each option
In Citrix Provisioning Services, the Imaging Wizard is the built-in tool for capturing a target device's hard drive into a new vDisk. The administrator must run it directly on the master target device.
The Imaging Wizard is the official Citrix Provisioning Services utility that runs on the target device and automates the process of capturing the device's disk contents into a new vDisk. It handles partitioning, formatting, and streaming configuration so the resulting vDisk can be assigned to other target devices. This is the correct and supported method for creating a vDisk from an existing master target device.
The 'Add personal vDisk storage' wizard in Citrix Studio is used to configure the Personal vDisk feature for user profile layering, not to capture a master target device image for Provisioning Services.
There is no standalone 'capture' function in the target device software itself - the Imaging Wizard is the specific component responsible for vDisk creation, and running generic target device software does not produce a vDisk.
XenServer's Export function creates XVA/OVF template packages for virtual machine portability, which are not compatible with or usable as Provisioning Services vDisks.
