When you try to create a machine catalog in Citrix XenDesktop you might get a very confusing error such as the one below.
Error Id: XDDS:19E984FA
Exception:

I find it very difficult to troubleshoot server products that dump the entire error stack on you. It makes it impossible to read and also very difficult to Google for the solution.
In this case the problem is that the hosting resource in Citrix XenDesktop (as shown in the screenshot) is using a different datastore than is configured for the virtual machine in the vSphere client.
