How to update a custom Windows 10 multi-user image with LOB applications for Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) Preview

In my previous blog I showed step-by-step how to create a custom Windows 10 multi-user image with Line Of Business (LOB) installed on it for use with Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). Most of the time updates are needed after a few days or weeks, there are the Windows updates off course, but also the LOB application updates. Or perhaps new LOB applications needs to be added to the image. How do you update a Windows Virtual Desktop (Preview) Hostpool without recreating the (master) image from scratch? Or how do you make sure you have a fallback to a previous “version” of your master image in case something went wrong?

Back in the old days when you wanted to update a vDisk, you needed to make a complete copy of the current vDisk, then import it back into the vDisk Store, set it to Private Mode and link it to a Master device to apply your changes. After making all the changes, you needed to put the vDisk back to Standard Image mode and copy the complete vDisk to the rest of the Provisioning Services servers. Now with Citrix Provisioning Services vDisk versioning you can add versions to your current vDisk. This method of updating the vDisk creates a delta file next to the vDisk itself.
