FSLogix - Option to change path C:\Users\local_%username% to another disk
I'd like to improve user profile performance with FSLogix on Azure by optionally moving the C:\Users\local_%username% folder (used for redirections.xml) to the temp 😧 drive on Azure VMs with a temp disk. e.g. D:\Users\local_%username% I'm not referring to the C:\Users\%username% but the C:\Users\local_%username% folders. Currently this isn't configurable but it's referenced at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\Sessions\[SID]\LocalProfilePath This would offload IOPs from the OS disk and also make some user profile operations much faster, e.g. Teams cache could be redirected and offloaded to speed up Teams. The temp disk is generally much more performant than Azure Premium disks. It also sorts the issue of those local_%username% folders not getting cleaned up after an unexpected reboot/crash. If they're on the temp disk they'll get wiped out after a reprovision instead of having to script the cleanup. Cloud Cache paths can be customised to use the 😧 drive but it would be nice to move the redirections to that too. Regards, David
Bug with profile picture on AVD / Windows 11 Multi-User
My organization has seen multiple occurrences where a different user's profile picture/icon is shown besides their own. This has been seen in the OS under Start (lower left corner) as well as in Settings -> Accounts. No issues have been seen with Teams or Outlook only the profile picture shown within the OS. Have not seen anything similar with our on-premise Citrix machines. Not a high priority issue obviously but would like to raise awareness. If anyone has ideas, please let me know what information I can gather to start troubleshooting! Thank you.
FSLogix - Set Outlook cached mode to specific number of days if the profile fails to attach
Add ability to set Outlook cache to a specific number of days if the profile fails to attach. Currently, FSLogix can set Outlook to online mode if the VHDx container fails to attach to the session. A new registry key to allow FSLogix set the sync period in Outlook and keep Outlook in cached mode. Right now we use the “Set Outlook cached mode on successful attach” but this is a simple on/off and in some of our sites Outlook is too slow when running in online only mode, it would be nice to be able to set the cache to 30/60/90 days or whatever on successful attach but leave the fallback position to be something like 3 days.FSLogix - Add the ability to exclude specific files from ODFC containers
The ability to exclude specific files/directories from ODFC containers like we can with Profile containers. We’ve discovered some pretty severe bloat occurring (specifically the issue with %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Service Worker\Cache Storage) and the ability to exclude that from the ODFC container would save a huge amount of disk space when multiplied by our thousands of users.FSLogix - Make client more resilient to DNS name resolution failures
We have had a few incidents in our Production environment related to DNS which caused the FSLogix client to lose connection to Cloud Cache Providers. This led to issues with Office apps that depend on the container. Enhance FSLogix to better handle a loss of domain name resolution e.g. fall back to IP Address if DNS resolution fails?FSLogix - Change Event 81 from a Warning level to an Informational level
FSLogix Cloud Cache Operational Event ID 81 "Storage has invalid local cache" is raised at Warning level Change Event 81 from a Warning level to an Informational level as the issue does not significantly impact users and monitoring systems are incorrectly identifying it as a cause for concern based on the current level
Business to Business (B2B)
Hi, At this moment B2B isn't supported for Azure Virtual Desktop: The user must be sourced from the same Active Directory that's connected to Azure AD. Azure Virtual Desktop does not support B2B or MSA accounts. The UPN you use to subscribe to Azure Virtual Desktop must exist in the Active Directory domain the VM is joined to. It would be nice to create a B2B feature, so our end users can use AVD resources from our third party suppliers (DaaS/SaaS suppliers). This way will increase the user experience. I think B2B is the future, it's already present in other Azure resources like Teams, Office 365, OneDrive, Sharepoint etc. Discuss this already with Pedro Magrico.
