Provisioning Machine not displaying "provisioning mode" pop-up

Hello All,

Firstly, thank you for your time and attention.

Premise: We are running Horizon 7 looking to implement App Volumes. I successfully installed the App Volumes Manager on a Windows Server 2016 VM. For the App Volumes Agent, I installed it on a "master" VDI image that we use for recomposing purposes within our VDI environment (I did take a snapshot which I revert to after the agent install until we're ready to fully deploy the Agent to our VDI production pool). I set up a "Test" desktop pool in Horizon as well as a "Test" Appstack which I created just for testing purposes. To create the provisioning (capture) machine, I cloned the VDI master image with the App Volumes Agent. Note*: Because of the cloning process, the new provisioning VM and the VDI master image share the same hostname (IP address is different due to DHCP).

Problem: When selecting the provisioning machine, during the provisioning process, I choose the newly created VM (cloned from VDI master). The IP address and VM duration time are verified (within the Directory > Online tab) to point to the provisioning VM and not to the VDI master (which is currently turned off). From the App Volumes > Appstacks tab, it shows that I am in provisioning mode. However, on the provisioning VM, the "you are now in provisioning mode" pop-up does not appear, even if I restart the VM. When I shut off the provisioning VM and turn on the VDI master image, the pop-up does appear when I log in. I don't want to use the master VDI image as a provisioning machine. 

Could it be because the provisioning machine is not the original holder of the hostname? Any help or insight as to why I'm experiencing this would be amazing. Thank you again for your time.
