Microsoft(Azure) Virtual Desktop Optimization Tool now available
Optimizing images has always been an important component of preparing images as part of a traditional Remote Desktop Services (RDS) infrastructure or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)....
Question about the note on recommendations to run this "post sysprep".
Can you expand on this? This implies that at least some of the optimizations may be undone after deployment of a generalized VM. Is that the reason for this recommendation?
Ideally there would be no need to further optimize your VM deployed from a master image.
FWIW, tread lightly with this tool! My initial attempt running this left me with things broken such as OneDrive for example.
Perhaps this tool should be run against the reference VM BEFORE installing apps? That way maybe OneDrive wouldnt break? Dunno but my first experience says that much more lab time is needed before applying this to systems intended for deployment to production host pools!
YMMV...
