Description
Allows you to create a new provisioning scheme. The creation process makes a copy of the hard disk attached to a virtual machine snapshot or VM template and stores it in every storage location that the hosting unit referenced by the provisioning scheme defines. This is a long-running task and typically takes several minutes to complete (depending on the size of the hard disk that is being copied and the number of snapshots that the hard disk consists of).
A snapshot or VM template must be used rather than a VM, so that the content of the hard disk for the provisioning scheme can be easily determined.
Because the snapshot or VM template are specified using a path into the Citrix Host Service PowerShell Provider, the Citrix Host Service PowerShell snap-in must also be loaded to use this cmdlet.
This cmdlet requires information to be provided that is retrieved using other snap-ins that form part of the Citrix Machine Creation Services:
Hosting Unit Service Snapin
The snap-in that provides information about the hypervisors.
AD Identity Service Snapin
The snap-in that provides information about the identity pools.
The provisioning scheme is a collection of all of the data that is required to form a template against which virtual machines can be created. It therefore requires the following:
Hosting Unit
A reference to an item defined in the Host Service that defines the hypervisor, the network, and the storage to be used.
Identity Pool
A reference to the collection of Active Directory accounts that is used for VMs created from the provisioning scheme.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “XenPS” using the hosting unit “XenHu” and the identity pool “idPool1” from the master VM snapshot called “Base.snapshot”.

EXAMPLE 2
Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “AWS1” using the hosting unit “aws-test” and the identity pool “idPool1” from the master VM snapshot called “TemplateAmi”. The machine instance “server-vda” is used as a Machine Profile when creating the provisioning scheme so all other parameters are taken from the instance.

EXAMPLE 3
Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “AWS2” using the hosting unit “aws-test” and the identity pool “idPool2” from the master VM snapshot called “TemplateAmi”.

If instance type value (ServiceOffering) is empty in the machine profile launch template version and no service offering is provided in cmdlet parameter, the cmdlet will return error.
