Adding more than 999 virtual machines to a Random Pooled/PVS Machine Catalog in XenDesktop 7.6 gave us the error below. To correct this issue install Hotfix Update 3 – For Delivery Controller 7.6.
Machine Catalog Info:
Windows Desktop OS
Allocation Type: Pooled
Provisioning Method: PVS
User Data: Discard
Here’s the error I got when trying to add more than 999 virtual machines to a machine catalog.
