Detailed Description

Provides the ability to prepare an update for the hard disk image used to provision virtual machines.

A snapshot is used rather than a VM, so that the content of the hard disk for the provisioning scheme can be easily determined.

As the snapshot is specified using a path into the Citrix Host Service Powershell Provider, the Citrix Host Service Powershell snap-in must also be loaded for this cmdlet to be used.

The prepared hard disk image path is stored into the history (see Get-ProvSchemeMasterVMImageHistory). The data stored in the history allows for a fast update to be undertaken, to switch to using the newly prepared hard disk image at a time chosen by the system administrator.

Parameters

Name	Description	Required?	Pipeline Input	Default Value
ProvisioningSchemeName	The provisioning scheme to which the hard disk image should be updated.	true	true (ByPropertyName)
MasterImageVM	The path in the hosting unit provider to the virtual machine snapshot that will be used. This identifies the hard disk to be used and the default values for the memory and processors. This must be a path to a Snapshot item in the same hosting unit that the hosting unit name or hosting unit Uid refers to.
Valid paths are of the format; XDHyp:\HostingUnits<HostingUnitName><path><VMName>.vm<SnapshotName>.snapshot	true	true (ByPropertyName)
ProvisioningSchemeUid	The provisioning scheme identifier to which the hard disk image should be updated.	true	false
VhdTemplateSource	File path to a source VHD template to be used when performing application scanning during image preparation. The presence of this parameter in conjunction with VhdResultDestination implies that application scanning is to be performed	false	false
VhdResultDestination	File path (including file name) where the VHD disk file containing the results of application scanning should be written.	false	false
AppScanResultsFile	File name to which the results of application scanning should be written.	false	false
FunctionalLevel	The FunctionalLevel of the VDA installed on the given MasterImageVM.	false	false
RunAsynchronously	Indicates whether or not the cmdlet should return before it is complete. If specified, the command returns an identifier for the task that was created. You can monitor this task using the Get-ProvTask cmdlet.	false	false	false
PurgeJobOnSuccess	Indicates that the task history will be removed from the database when the task has finished. This cannot be specified for tasks that are run asynchronously.	false	false	false
LoggingId	Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.	false	false
BearerToken	Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user	false	false
TraceParent	Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use	false	false
TraceState	Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing user	false	false
VirtualSiteId	Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to.	false	false
AdminAddress	Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address.	false	false	Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.

Input Type

Return Values

System.Guid

When “RunAsynchronously” is specified, this identifier is returned to provide the task identifier. System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject This object provides details of the task run and contains the following information: TaskId <Guid> The identifier for the task that was performed. Active <Boolean> Indicates whether the task is still processing or is complete. Host <string> The name of the host on which the task is running or was run. DateStarted <DateTime> The date and time that the task was initiated. Type <Citrix.XDInterServiceTypes.JobType> The type of the task. For new provisioning scheme tasks this is always “NewProvisioningScheme”. Metadata <Citrix.MachineCreation.Sdk.Metadata[]> The list of metadata stored against the task. For new tasks this will be empty until metadata is added. WorkflowStatus <System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowStatus> Indicates the status of the workflow that is being used to process the task. ProvisioningSchemeName <string> The name of the provisioning scheme that the task was for. ProvisioningSchemeUid <Guid> The unique identifier of the provisioning scheme that the task was for. MasterImage <string> The path (in the hosting unit provider) of the virtual machine snapshot that was used as the master image for the task. IdentityPoolName <string> The name of the identity pool (from the ADIdentity PowerShell snap-in) that the new provisioning scheme will use. IdentityPoolUid <guid> The unique identifier name of the identity pool (from the ADIdentity PowerShell snap-in) that the new provisioning scheme will use. HostingUnitName <string> The name of the hosting unit (from the Hosting Unit PowerShell snap-in) that the new provisioning scheme will use. HostingUnitUid The unique identifier of the hosting unit (from the Hosting Unit PowerShell snap-in) that the new provisioning scheme will use. TaskState <Citrix.DesktopUpdateManager.SDK.NewProvisioningSchemeState> The state of the task. This can be any of the following: Processing Indicates that the task has just begun and has not done anything yet. LocatingResources, Indicates that the workflow is locating resources from other services. HostingUnitNotFound Indicates that the task failed because the required hosting unit could not be located. VirtualMachineSnapshotNotFound Indicates that the task failed because the required snapshot could not be located. ConsolidatingMasterImage Indicates that the task is consolidating the master image. ReplicatingConsolidatedImageToAllStorage Indicates that the task is replicating the consolidated master image. StoringProvisioningScheme Indicates that the task is storing the provisioning scheme data to the database. Finished Indicates that the task has completed with no errors. ProvisioningSchemeAlreadyExists Indicates that the task failed because a provisioning scheme with the same name already exists. IdentityPoolNotFound Indicates that the task failed because the identity pool specified could not be found. MasterVMImageIsNotPartOfProvisioningSchemeHostingUnit, Indicates that the hosting unit that the master image originated from is not the hosting unit that the provisioning scheme is defined to use. MasterVmImageIsNotASnapshot Indicates that the task failed because the master VM Image path does not refer to a Snapshot item. ProvisioningSchemeNotFound Could not find a provisioning scheme with the specified name. TaskAlreadyRunningForProvisioningScheme A task for a provisioning scheme with the same name is already running. InvalidMasterVMConfiguration The VM snapshot specified as the master had an invalid configuration. InvalidMasterVMState The VM snapshot specified as the master is currently in an invalid state. InsufficientResources Indicates that the task failed because the hypervisor did not have enough resources to complete the task. StorageNotFound Indicates that no associated storage was found in the hosting unit. Canceled Indicates that the task was stopped by user intervention (using Stop-ProvTask) TaskStateInformation <string> Holds string data providing more details about the current task state. TaskProgress The progress of the task 0-100%.

Notes

Only one long-running task per provisioning scheme can be processed at any one time. In the case of failure, the following errors can result. Error Codes

JobCreationFailed The requested task could not be started. DatabaseError An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation. DatabaseNotConfigured The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured. ServiceStatusInvalidDb An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation - communication with the database failed for for various reasons. WorkflowHostUnavailable The task could not be started because the database connection is inactive. CommunicationError An error occurred while communicating with the service. PermissionDenied The user does not have administrative rights to perform this operation. ConfigurationLoggingError The operation could not be performed because of a configuration logging error. ExceptionThrown An unexpected error occurred. To locate more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or examine the XenDesktop logs. UnsupportedByServer The requested operation is not supported by this version of the service. The cmdlet is associated with a task of type PublishImage, and while active will move through the following operations (CurrentOperation field) ValidatingInputs ConsolidatingMasterImage PreparingMasterImage ReplicatingMasterImage
