Citrix Provisioning Services Installation and Configuration

This is the overview of Citrix Provisioning Services installation and configuration.

Design Setup: 2 (Windows server 2003/ 2008 R2) machines required. One act as DNS server and another as Provisioning server. One Win XP / 7 Client machine is required for taking the image. Make sure all machines are in N/W and they are pingable. 

Please configure DHCP option 66 & 67 on PVS server. See below for required fields.

DHCP Citrix Server Setup

Citrix Provisioning Server 5.6.1 will use the DHCP from Windows Server 2008 and the PVS PXE boot from Citrix.  The DHCP service will include/use 66 and 67.  66 is the Host IP Name and 67 is ARDPB32.bin.  The client PC will PXE boot sending out its MAC address to the server.  The DHCP service will “see” this MAC address and assign it an IP from the Reservation list of IP’s along with the Citrix ARDPB32.bin.  This is then handed to the Citrix PVS who will then “see” the request from the MAC address / ARDPB32.bin verify the MAC in the Device Collection and stream out the proper image to the client.  

After DHCP configuration start installing PVS server installation. Then proceed with Target device software installation on client machine and start the imaging process. I have the step by step document for installation and configuration of PVS.
