Cixtrix Xendesktop using Vsphere 5.1 hypervisor Desktops reboot unable to log in
Setting up a new Xendesktop infrastructure which uses Vsphere 5.1.
I have created a small test pool of desktops (windows7), each desktop shows as Registered in Desktop studio.
When I log in to the web interface and select the virtual desktop nothing happens.
When I return to Citrix Desktop studio the machine that's on becomes unregistered. When I look at vecenter I can see that the vm has been shutdown.
Has anyone else had this issue an found a resolution?
What steps would be good to take to troubleshoot this further.

Check your idle pool settings in Desktop Studio.

I have a test pool of 3 machines under power management its set to start 1 machine. This looks ok to me any areas specifically you would suggest checking?

I think the issue is related to the Citrix Display Driver. I created a new windows 7 image installed vmware tools without the video driver. I then install the citrix VDA. When I look in device manager the citrix display driver is shown the following error:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I have been unable to get the Citrix Display Driver WDDM to work. Any ideas?

The issue was being caused by the Citrix Display driver WDDM not working.
While I did install Vmware tools and then Citrix XDA in the correct order in my test environment. I didn't install the Xendesktop Agent on a fully patched version on Windows 7 as I was just a test environment. This proved to be a mistake, once windows 7 was fully patched the Citrix Display driver worked correctly.
