Description
After removing a persistent Machine from MCS Catalog, the machine will not be visible while adding it to a Manual Catalog. The same machine can be added with Power Unmanaged option in a Remote PC access catalog.
Resolution
- Navigate to the affected Virtual Machine in vSphere which is not visible in Studio
- Look for Custom Attributes as shown below
- In the XdConfig attribute, remove the XDProvisioned=true value.
- Go to Citrix Studio and proceed to add the machine in the Catalog
- Post adding, the machines can be Power Managed through Citrix Studio
Problem Cause
Custom Attributes are added to the machines when provisioned with the MCS provisioning, Hence the attribute prevents the machine to visible while re-adding to a new catalog
