In Provisioning Services, you can configure the stream service to skip the vDisk boot menu to select the default option for target devices. This feature can be useful when configuring a dedicated maintenance or test target device, bypassing the need to select the boot option when using vDisk versioning. If you’re still not on the versioning train, it is time to climb aboard!

To disable the boot menu, you must edit the registry, as explained in CTX135299.

  1. Set the boot option as the first option in the start menu.

    • On all Provisioning Services servers till 6.x, open the Registry Editor and browse to HKLMSoftwareCitrixProvisioningServices.

    • On Provisioning Services servers 7.x, open the Registry Editor and browse to HKLMSoftwareCitrixProvisioningServicesStreamProcess.

  2. Right-click Provisioning Services > click New > DWORD Value “SkipBootMenu”.

  3. Double-click the new DWORD and type Value data of 1 ( a value of 0 will enable normal boot menu behavior ).
  4. Close the Registry Editor.

  5. Restart the Citrix Provisioning Services Stream Service on the Provisioning Services server(s).

A Provisioning Services vDisk boot menu appears when the user is starting a provisioned Virtual Machine, but what if you want to start the Virtual Machine unattended.

Caution! This fix requires you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may 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.”
