Active OneDrive makes whole environment 'sluggish'
Our client is using AVD for about 5 weeks in 'production' now. It is a smaller company with about 40 users. We have 6 VM's in AVD (D4s_v5) in use at the moment. We have tried D8s_v5 without any improvement.
But we see memory and cpu usage at high levels most of the time with OneDrive at the top of the processes. Every server feels sluggish at the moment. Starting Excel takes about 30-40 seconds, Word about the same time. Opening a Word document takes about 20-25 seconds to open and opening folders from the right pane (yes only the right pane) in explorer takes abount 7-15 seconds per folder.
All those folders are folders from SharePoint document libraries.
It doens't matter if a folder is fully synced with the server or it isn't.
We are using FSlogic with profiles stored on azure.
I was reading a blog of Christian Brinkhoff about almost the same kind of issues but can't really pinpoint the exact cause or find a solution for this issue.
Can you help me out?

- This could be several things. Firstly, if you take OneDrive out of the equation, is still slow?? I have never seen OneDrive slow things down.
Few things to check:
1. How many users are you getting per host? With a D4S_5 try it with a 1:1 ratio to set it to 4 users per host and see if you still experience issues.
2. Have you implemented the FSLogix exclusions? I would strongly suggest doing so if not.
3. What storage are you using for the VMs, you should be at least Standard SSD
4. Try the D4DS_V5 SKU as that has a temp disk so your pagefile disk will have much more IOPS so hopefully better experience
5. If you open a local Word or Excel document is it still slow?
6. What storage is your FSLogix profiles held on? Should be at least Premium SSD.
7. If you exclude FSLogix from the equation, is it still slow?? You can do this by adding users to the local FSLogix exclude group on the session hosts.
This should help pinpoint where the issue is 🙂- 7. If you exclude FSLogix from the equation, is it still slow?? You can do this by adding users to the local FSLogix exclude group on the session hosts.
Excluding FSLogic -> same issues.
Disabeling OneDrive makes the environment fast. Enabling it makes the environment slow.
OneDrive and FSLogic on same storage but in different container.
Starting OneDrive on server as Admin (without shares and sync) makes the server slow also.- so problems seem to pinpoint to OneDrive client / setup.
- And thank you for your reply! 🙂

Disabeling OneDrive makes the servers 'fly'. Enabled slows them down incredibly.
It doesn't matter if 1 or 5 users are on the server. We upgraded to D8s_V5 without improvement.
Storage for servers and FSLogic is Standard & Premium SSD.
ODFC is enabled.The other questions I will try to find out. Will be back....
