MicrosoftFSLogix team, I am looking at migrating from Citrix UPM to FSLogix. The profile management solution has so much promise. but...
I have come to the conclusion that using the cloud cache across multiple data centers is not feasible due to the size of the profiles. I am considering a single profile location using a DFS share with replication. That is testing for later.
For now, I am seeing logon times get progressively slower as the profile size grows and grows. A new profile started around 300MB and has now grown to almost 8GB in a few hours with just Outlook (1month OST file), Teams and some browser usage. There are numerous articles on compacting the VHD/VHDX files.
Two questions:
Why are the profile containers 2x or 3x times the actual usage? Can't you keep the "empty" space cleared?
If the first option to just keep the profile container size in line with the actual profile size, why not have a built in option for VHD/VHDX compaction?
There is absolutely no reason to copy an 8GB file over the network if 5GB of it is empty space?
Thanks
