non-persistent VDI machines are deleted when they are rebooted, logged off, or shut down. Therefore, Windows Update policy should be configured to prevent automatic updates that may trigger a restart on these machines1.

When provisioning automated pools (Instant Clones or Linked Clones) in Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware Horizon), the domain join operation is performed by a specified service account. If this process fails automatically but works manually with an administrator's account, it indicates a permissions issue for that service account, not a general network or DNS failure.

The service account does not require high-level privileges like Domain Admin or Schema Admin. Instead, it requires specific delegated permissions on the Target Organizational Unit (OU) where the new computer objects are created. These permissions include "Create Computer Objects," "Delete Computer Objects," "Write All Properties," and "Reset Password." If these delegations are missing, the automated domain join will fail.

According to the Nutanix Hardware Administration Guide and Product Mixing Restrictions, mixing nodes from different hardware vendors (OEMs) in the same cluster is not supported.

Specifically, a cluster must contain nodes from a single vendor (e.g., all Nutanix NX, all Dell XC, or all Cisco UCS). Mixing Nutanix NX nodes with Cisco UCS nodes within the same cluster is explicitly listed as an unsupported configuration due to differences in hardware lifecycle management, firmware updates, and foundation processes.

Therefore, the administrator must create a new, separate cluster for the Cisco UCS nodes. They can then leverage features like Cluster-to-Cluster replication or a multi-cluster VDI broker configuration to manage the environment, but the nodes cannot be merged into the existing NX cluster.
