![]() We will revert back to this state every time we start the Golden Image process. Shut down the target VM and create a snapshot of it, called Before_Runbook. Then create a new Device in Citrix PVS with the name and MAC address of the target device (which is in this guide DTNCXA006) and set the boot from to Harddisk. Make sure the target VM boots from the PVS network adapter. If you have all these things in place we need to edit the target VM. If you use computer domain name identification in automation you need to change the workgroup name to the same name as your domain. Don’t forget to format the second disk and make it the D: Cache Partition and turn the Windows firewall off. After installing Windows make sure to install your Hypervisor Tools like VMware tools. This guide will use Windows Server 2016 as the Golden Image OS but you can of course change that. ![]() When the hardware is done install your OS on the 100 GB Disk. This way the target VM will always have the same IP so that DNS always works. Make sure to create reservations for the MAC addresses of the adapters in your DHCP server. If you have split this network then you have to add a extra network adapter. Now make sure that your target VM can reach the VM network and the PVS network. Add 2 hard drives to it, one of 100GB (This will be the C: System partition) and one of 40 GB (this will be the D: Cache partition). Create a VM with at least 2 vCPU’s and 4 GB of RAM. This VM will be the machine on which we will create the Golden Image.
