wvd fslogix how to move profile container to another region
Hello,
We are currently using WVD and have a Profile Container for FSLogix in Central US. The RG is located in West US. We would like to move the Profile Container to the same location as the RG and our WVD VM servers, which is in West US.
When we started our project for WVD the only location available for Profile Containers was Central US.
Is there a document on how to move the Profile Container and update FSLogix on each of the VM's for WVD?
- What do you mean with Profile Containers? Do you mean a Storage Account with an Azure File Share on it that holds the FSLogix Profile Containers? Hard to believe that you can only have Storage Accounts in Central US until recently.
In any case, if you are using Storage Accounts: You cannot move these across Regions so you would have to create a new storage account and then migrate the data (via AzCopy or Robocopy). Then you would have to update the VHDLocations value in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles or in the GPO if you are using that (which is the preferred way)

We started with WVD and FSLogix when Microsoft first released in 2019. Yes, we are using a storage account with an Azure File share. Thank you, I will see if that works for us.- We successfully moved all our profiles to a Storage account in the same location as our WVD Servers and updated the registry key. This helped with issues of connecting and losing connection, improved opening of the apps in Remote Desktop.
