What happens to the differencing disk of a Random/Non-Persistent desktop machine following a restart in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site running on Citrix Hypervisor?
A.
It will be updated from the base image.
B.
It will be synchronized with the attached Personal vDisk.
According to the Reference Architecture: Image Management, Machine Creation Services (MCS) is a disk-based provisioning approach that works with major hypervisors and leading cloud platforms. The clones include a differencing disk and an identity disk linked from a base disk. MCS configures, starts, stops, and deletes virtual machines using the hypervisor APIs. When a Random/Non-Persistent desktop machine is restarted, the differencing disk will be updated from the base image, discarding any changes made by the user. This ensures that the desktop machine is always in a clean state and consistent with the master image.
