We are trying to implement FSLogix in our VMWare Horizon environment. Setup is simple, FSLogix agent, Instant Clone pool and a share for the VHDX files. When implementing the redirections.xml configuration with a GPO, the user profile is unable to get reattached (Status 0x00000017 Reason: 0x00000000 Error Code: 0x0000000D). If we do not implement the redirection.xml, we do not have that issue. I've tried with an empty XML only containing the following:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<FrxProfileFolderRedirection ExcludeCommonFolders=”0”>
<Excludes>
</Excludes>
</FrxProfileFolderRedirection>
But we are still getting the error. So here are the scenarios:
1. New VHDX, no redirections.xml, it works. Sign-out and sign-in, still works.
2. New VHDX, redirections.xml, first sign in works, sign-out and sign-in, User profile failed to attach. After that, even when I remove the redirections.xml GPO, the VHDX is unusable.
Thank you

could it be that you didn't save the redirections.xml file as UTF8 but in the standard ASCII format of notepad?
(Because the xml content claims to be in UTF8...)
