Using Citrix Provisioning Services

Citrix Provisioning Services enables you to stream a single desktop image to create multiple virtual desktops on one or more servers in a data center. This facility greatly reduces the amount of storage required compared to other methods of creating virtual desktops.
If you are installing Provisioning Services in your environment, you can configure pooled virtual desktops to revert to a clean state after users log off. To do this, complete the following tasks:
  • Create the virtual machine to use as your base image and install the following software on that virtual machine:
    • Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent
    • Integration Services
    • Citrix Provisioning Services Target Device for x86 Platform
  • Create a Provisioning Services virtual disk (vDisk) based on the virtual machine image, using the Provisioning Services Virtual Image Builder.
  • Set the access mode for the vDisk to Standard Image (multi-client, write cache enabled).
  • Assign the vDisk to the virtual machines you will use as pooled virtual desktops.
  • On the Logoff Behavior page of the Create Desktop Group wizard, select Restart the virtual desktop.
