Description

Registration state on Studio shows up as "Registration missing" and Fault state as "Stuck on Boot" however the machine status would be displayed as Registered

Environment

Caution! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.

Resolution

Set the below key on each Delivery Controllers in the Site.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Citrix\DesktopServer\MaxTimeBeforeStuckOnBootFaultSecs    
DWORD Value: 500

Default value is 300 seconds. This can be further increased if issue is not resolved.

Problem Cause

After a machine is rebooted it waits for a HCL notification to confirm that the VM tools are installed or not. If this notification wait times out it causes the machine to set its status as Stuck on boot.
