There are two profile for few users one is starting with sid_username and another with username_sid for pooled azure virtual desktop. We want all user profile having naming convention username_sid for all users. Below are the settings configured: -


-Swap directory name components is enabled
-flipflopprofiledirectory Name is set to 1

Any recommendation will be helpful.

  • How are you pushing the FS Logix settings to session hosts - Intune or GPO?
    What version of FS Logix is running on session hosts? :)

        Have you checked for valid replication between domain controllers. If you changed this setting in GPO at some point and you have 2 domain controllers not replicating GPO changes (broken sysvol replication), this could lead to the issue you are seeing. 

         

        You can create a new GPO on domain controller 1 and go to the local sysvol folder on domain controller 2 (C:\Windows\SYSVOL) and see if the new GPO is created within the policydefinitions folder.

      Hi Chris_toffer0707​ 
      We are pushing these setting through GPO. Also, we are managing AVD via Nerdio as well but we havn't configured these setting from Nerdio for fslogix.

      Only FlipFlop = 1setting is applied. Why only for 4-5 users having two user profile created sometime user session connected to SID_username profile or sometime it connect to username_SID.

      Due to that user data getting lost and we have to copy the data from another profile.

      What setting needs to be set if we only have user profile with Username_sid

      Yes, We do have below setting but swap setting is not applied. Want to confirm that most of the users user profile with username_SID only but for 4-5 users there are two profile created one is with Username_SID and SID_Username even after resetting the userprofile it will recreate the SID_username this again.
