Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 and Machine Creation Services error
I have a Proof of Concept using XenDesktop 7.6. I've created a masterimage and I'm trying to spin up a machine catalog using MCS.
It's errorring out with the following:
Error Id: XDDS:E2699DED
Exception:
Citrix.Console.Models.Exceptions.ProvisioningTaskException Image Preparation Finalization Failed
at Citrix.Console.PowerShellSdk.ProvisioningSchemeService.BackgroundTasks.ProvisioningSchemeTask.CheckForTerminatingError(SdkProvisioningSchemeAction sdkProvisioningSchemeAction)
at Citrix.Console.PowerShellSdk.ProvisioningSchemeService.BackgroundTasks.ProvisioningSchemeTask.WaitForProvisioningSchemeActionCompletion(Guid taskId, Action`1 actionResultsObtained)

at Citrix.Console.PowerShellSdk.ProvisioningSchemeService.BackgroundTasks.ProvisioningSchemeCreationTask.RunTask()
at Citrix.Console.PowerShellSdk.BackgroundTaskService.BackgroundTask.Task.Run()
When I click to submit it to Citrix, it comes back that DCHP is not enabled. DHCP is working perfectly and I've tested. I can find nothing else on this error.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I've seen this before when the service account used by PVS has permissions assigned using the delegation tool. This was in a 2008 R2 mixed mode domain.
For some reason we had to give the service account full control to that OU where you have it defined to spin up new machine accounts.
On the DHCP, did you set the IP HELPER address on the segment where you are turning up the virtual machines?
Three, when using something like vCenter SDK and vSphere the account must have specific rights or assigned a ROLE in VMWare.
Machine creation services uses the Hypervisor heavier than Provisioning Services.
It is failing during the image preparation phase.
Do you have a visual on the hypervisor that is being used to see if the snapshot is created and new machines are added to the hypervisor?
What about AD?
This is happening after the Connection to the HyperVisor so the assumption are permissions being correct and that is not always the case. It can work 99% and be missing that 1% permission to finish up.
Just curious if you updated the PvD before creating the image?

No, I didn't use PVD on the others. This is my first attempt at MCS with PVD. The Master image....I'm logged in now and when I tried to reboot it, it told me my PVD inventory needed to be updated before I could reboot.
I wonder if I uninstall the VDA on my master image and reinstall it without the PVD option if that will work?
