WVD Windows 10 multi session - restrict user to single folder to download/store files
Hi srasp!
actually there are multiple ways to achieve what you like.
The first thing that comes into my mind is to use Ephemeral OS disks for your Session Hosts. These give you the advantage that any changes made the the OS / data disks will be reset when the machine gets deallocated and restarted (comparable to non-persistent VDI).(More Info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyXx5Er9jYo&list=PL-V4YVm6AmwXGvQ46W8mHkpvm6S5IIitK&index=19)
To provide your users a space where they can work you could use OneDrive or you create a network share / drive where your users can work exclusively, if necessary this can also be purged automatically via PS script in the task scheduler of the server / machine.
For the purging you could use the following command to delete files, that haven´t been modified since 30 days (the number of days can be changed of course):
ForFiles /p "C:\path\to\folder" /s /d -30 /c "cmd /c del /q @file"
Hope this helps.

Hi patrickkoehler ,
thank you for your reply. I am haven't heard yet from Ephemeral OS disks. It is definitely worth to test it for our requirements. Thank you also for the PowerShell statement.
Best regards
