Windows Server 2022 and FSLogix profile roaming problems
Hello! Recently I've been tasked with enabling profile roaming between two Windows Server 2022 hosts, which are added to the same collection. Both of them are hosting internal developed app. After enabling fslogix on one of them, I've encountered some errors, users getting blocked from logging in. Those are the errors users are getting when trying to log in into the host that uses FSlogix: 1) Failed to acquire mutex for user: EXAMPLE-USER 2) Failed to acquired cleanup session registry lock for user EXAMPLE-USER (SID=S-1-5-21-1715567821-2139871995-725345543-32785) (Elapsed time: 60000) (The wait operation timed out.) User is from different domain that has Forest trust type set to Transitive. We have multiple domains accessing this VM and users from all of them are having the same problems when fslogix enabled on it. User has access to both VM and Azure Storage Account File share when profiles are being saved (both SMB and on Azure portal access) FSLogix policy is set like this: Policy Setting Comment Delete local profile when FSLogix Profile should apply Enabled Policy Enabled Enabled Policy Setting Comment Set Outlook cached mode on successful container attach Disabled Size in MBs Enabled Size in MBs 10000 Policy Setting Comment VHD location Enabled VHD location \\<example>.file.core.windows.net\profiles FSLogix/Profile Containers/Advancedhide Policy Setting Comment Keep local folder after user logs out Disabled Locked VHD retry count Enabled Locked VHD retry count 3 Policy Setting Comment Locked VHD retry interval Enabled Locked VHD retry interval 5 Policy Setting Comment Prevent login with failure Enabled Policy Setting Comment Prevent login with temporary profile Enabled Policy Setting Comment Redirect temporary file folders to local computer Enabled Redirect TEMP, TMP and INetCache to local drive Policy Setting Comment Remove Orphaned OST Files On Logoff Enabled FSLogix/Profile Containers/Container and Directory Naminghide Policy Setting Comment Swap directory name components Enabled Policy Setting Comment Virtual disk type Enabled VHDX Any ideas how to solve it or what might have caused it?FSLogix Customer Experience Survey is live!
