Hi Gonzalo,
it will be my first time to update the FSLogix on Azure Virtual Desktop.

can I run the installer on the existing FSLogix that is a proper way to update it? 

and we have many session hosts in a host pool, so all need to update same time or we can slowly update one by one?

Any information on the rumors that this build forces synchronous processing of group policies?

Hi @Gonzalo_Reyna 

 

When are you going to fix the problem with the Local_username of the Credentials folder hanging?

 

See this thread: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/229309/fslogix-unclean-logoff-causing-locked-file...

 

Don't tell me it's not an FSLogix problem.

 

Why do you ignore it? More than one person has already given you dumps to diagnose, and I am one of them. There were a lot of tickets to Microsoft...

Dear developers, give me some kind of answer !!! This problem for a long time, everyone, there were many tickets judging by different topics, for example this: https://stefanos.cloud/blog/kb/how-to-resolve-error-group-policy-client-service-failed-the-logon-acc...

Why are you ignoring the problem ? We have to constantly reboot servers during working hours.

FSLogix team, I am looking at migrating from Citrix UPM to FSLogix. The profile management solution has so much promise. but...

 

I have come to the conclusion that using the cloud cache across multiple data centers is not feasible due to the size of the profiles. I am considering a single profile location using a DFS share with replication. That is testing for later.

 

For now, I am seeing logon times get progressively slower as the profile size grows and grows. A new profile started around 300MB and has now grown to almost 8GB in a few hours with just Outlook (1month OST file), Teams and some browser usage. There are numerous articles on compacting the VHD/VHDX files.

 

Two questions:

Why are the profile containers 2x or 3x times the actual usage? Can't you keep the "empty" space cleared?

If the first option to just keep the profile container size in line with the actual profile size, why not have a built in option for VHD/VHDX compaction?

 

There is absolutely no reason to copy an 8GB file over the network if 5GB of it is empty space?

 

Thanks

Copper Contributor

Doubt you’ll get a reply on that, but no, the whitespace is simply never cleared up. I compact containers nightly, using Jim Moyle’s FSLogix shrink script with good success. They don’t recommend it, but you can also create a redirections.xml file to exclude certain directories form being retained in the container. If you run Teams, there are already some required folders that you should add, but are also others that many of us use to keep the size in check.

 

CPM is still faster in terms of logon speed, but not by much in our environment. With FSL, you want super fast storage - flash, ideally - otherwise you’ll see that slowness creep up. Our logon times are just under 35 seconds in total for a new profile creation, and around 20 seconds for subsequent logons.

 

You might want to look at Bvckup 2 for replication, as opposed to DFS-R.

Hi @vara93. Sorry for the delay in my response. I kindly ask you to open a support ticket so we can further troubleshoot your issue. We will need to collect data from your environment.

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna 

Why are you lying? More than one person has already opened a request for technical support on this problem and provided all the data. Take care of the problem, please. We are suffering because of a critical problem in your product.

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna 

Don't lie, please. Acknowledge the problem and get on with fixing the critical problem. Or explain why you don't want to do it. What is your problem. Or are you not a developer? Where else do you have to write, that someone will take care of the critical problem. I don't understand why this is so difficult for you.

You say to take a ticket to support, but this has already been done many times.

 

I'm waiting to hear back from you. I hope I won't be ignored.

 

The problem was recorded from November 26, 2020.

 

You have been doing nothing for almost a year.

 

I personally gave the data for diagnostics:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/fslogix-blog/fslogix-release-2105-public-preview/bc-p/2555356...

Update (8 Feb 2021)
This issue has been escalated to Microsoft technical support and is now waiting on action plan from Microsoft.

 

Update (11 Mar 2021)
A lot of Microsoft customers have been affected by this issue and a lot of tickets have been opened on the same. My ticket has been open since Jan 29th as a critical ticket. I have performed very thorough testing, took verbose traces and carried out all actions requested by MS FsLogix support team, to no avail. For some reason they are very slow in responding. The support team is having discussions with the FsLogix product group team but they have yet to provide a clear and conclusive update on how the issue will be fixed. All evidence so far points to a potential software bug but I have not yet received official confirmation on this from the technical support side, despite my numerous emails to the escalation team. Hopefully there will be action from the Microsoft side soon, since this is affecting a growing number of customers and production environments worldwide.

There are also a lot of people here who have made tickets.

Now some people are abandoning your product. But we have 500 users and don't want to migrate back to UPD.

Please fix !!!!!!

 

Is it hard for you to do this, or do you just not care about the users who use your product?

It's been almost a year !!!!

Microsoft

@vara93 Please open a support case with us and we will help you resolve your issue. As I mentioned before, we need data from your environment and to actually troubleshoot this issue, we need one of our support engineers work with you. Once that you open the ticket, please send me a message with the case number. Thanks.

On topic: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/229309/fslogix-unclean-logoff-causing-locked-file...

 

I asked to send here the ticket number of the person who created them. Wait for a reply.

 

Thank you.

Microsoft

Hi @vara93. If the person that reported the issue on that other thread you are mentioning works with you, then send me the case number, but if not, then I will need to ask you to open a ticket on your own so we can troubleshoot this issue based on your individual enviroment.

Copper Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna we are having similar issues. Opened ticket with support but not getting much traction (TrackingID#2108160060004596). Have there been any developments? Causing lots of of problems for us...

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna @chaecker 

Hello. Is there any news?

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna @chaecker Any updates ?

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna @chaecker Why is everyone ignoring me again?

Copper Contributor

We are still experiencing the Local_username keeping a handle open on Credential folder (Thus causing the fun black screen experience... until we reboot the rdsh). Additionally we have aad/ssso configured and have times where users login but no 365 apps are able to connect.

Iron Contributor

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/229309/fslogix-unclean-logoff-causing-locked-file...

Here one of the developers gives a temporary solution and says that the fix will be in November.

 

I don't understand why microsoft, @Gonzalo_Reyna , ignore. Why we have to wait so long for critical fixes. Why do you ignore?

Microsoft

Hi @vara93. Did you open the support ticket as we requested? Every environment is completely different and while there are solutions that can be widely applied, many times it is not the case. Please go ahead an open a support ticket so we can troubleshoot the issue you are facing. 

Iron Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna Are you a bot? Stop answering in patterns.

 

1. Did you solve the problem TrackingID#2108160060004596 ?

2. Whos is @RobertBerggren-1701 ? Why did he admit the problem and say he would fix it in November ?

3. This problem is about a year old. Did you do something? Have you helped anyone?

I am waiting for your answers.

I don't like that you don't want to do anything. You answer once a month with the same answers.

Get busy, everyone who uses your product has this problem. Stop saying everyone's infrastructure is unique. I got Outlook hung up and ended my session and couldn't log in again. I did dumps, but you don't care. You don't want to do anything.

Can someone besides you do the work ? You are of no use.

Hi @Yufeng550, to address the setup issue you are facing, please install September 2021 monthly rollup. More info can be found here Setup fails with failed to start redirector driver (0x80070241) - Microsoft Tech Community 

Microsoft

Hi @vara93. As I have been mentioning to you, I invite you to open a case so we can work with your particular situation. While you might see similar issues posted in the internet, the solution might not be the same as the cause might be different. Please send me a message when you open a support ticket and I will be more than happy to review your particular situation.

Copper Contributor

@Gonzalo_Reyna , Can you confirm the new Release in November will address the "The Group Policy Client service failed the sign in. Access is denied" and the stuck Folders ?

Iron Contributor

As a temporary solution, I use this script when a user logs out using group policies.

 

$SID = ([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).User.Value

Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileService\References\$SID" -Name RefCount -Value ([byte[]](0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00))

I have reverted to Version (2.9.7349.30108) and this seems to have fixed the issues on my 2019 Citrix Servers

Copper Contributor

Sorry if this is the wrong location to post this.  I am new to FSLogix and I trying to setup App Masking on VMWare Horizon image.  When I try to add a user or group to an app rule I create I get the error below.  Hoping someone can point me in a direction as I cannot find anything

Copper Contributor

@isturt I've found this seems to happen if you use a local Administrator account as it has permissions issues with AD, If you login with your Domain Admin Account and 'Run As Administrator', It seems to work.

Copper Contributor

Thank you, I will test that and let you know

 

Microsoft

Hi @isturt. The error you are facing it is not related to FSLogix but more to AD. I would first make sure you AD is properly replicating and two, make sure that you have good connectivity to your domain domain controllers. 

Iron Contributor

AppReadiness service leads to a black screen.

Microsoft

Hi @vara93, thanks for your contribution. We are aware of that issue and we have documented it in the following article Azure Virtual Desktop sign-in screen is blank - Azure | Microsoft Docs. I hope that link helps the community.
