The FIX: Citrix Golden/Master Image on Nutanix: Only Remote PC option appears

On a recent consulting engagement, I came across a new one.

On Nutanix AHV Hypervisor, when trying to install a VDA on an intended golden image VM, no option for Machine Creation Services or Provisioning Services is available. Only the option for Remote PC appears.

Here’s a potential solution for anyone encountering the issue.

We see the following screen upon VDA install. Only the option for Remote PC is available:

The “solution” is to turn off Windows Defender Credential Guard under Boot Configuration (I’ll need to do further research to see if this is still usable within a CVAD/DaaS environment).

Turn off windows Defender Credential Guard to allow for Citrix Master Image creation with MCS and PVS options

Hope this helps someone in need, and a big thanks to Manny Landerman for assisting with the fix!
