John Twilley Posted July 29 Posted July 29 (edited) I'd noticed that DirectFlex no longer worked for "New Teams" and it has been causing login delays for my customers due to the ever-increasing size of the ZIP. I just read the release notes for DEM 2406 and saw mention of a fix! I figured I'd start a thread on this issue to ensure others are aware of it. I'll be testing it today. The Fix from the 2406 Release Notes: DEM-188: New Microsoft Teams does not trigger DirectFlex processing Launches of the new Microsoft Teams are performed by the AppInfo service. In older versions of Dynamic Environment Manager, AppInfo starting a DirectFlex-enabled executable triggered DirectFlex processing. With the default DEM configuration, this behavior does not exist. Workaround: To enable the old behavior, set REG_DWORD value DirectFlex to 2 in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Immidio\Flex Profiles key (for Group Policy-based setups), or in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware UEM\Agent\Configuration key (for NoAD). 2870360: COM servers do not trigger DirectFlex processing In older versions of Dynamic Environment Manager, instantiating an out-of-process COM object hosted by a DirectFlex-enabled executable triggered DirectFlex processing. With the default DEM configuration, this behavior does not exist. Workaround: To enable the old behavior, set REG_DWORD value DirectFlex to 1 in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Immidio\Flex Profiles key (for Group Policy-based setups), or in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware UEM\Agent\Configuration key (for NoAD). Note: To enable the workarounds of DEM-188 and 2870360 at the same time, DirectFlex must be set to 3. Edited July 29 by John Twilley
John Twilley Posted July 29 Author Posted July 29 (edited) I have tried this setup, set REG_DWORD value DirectFlex to 2, but now AutoStart no longer functions. It worked just fine when DEM ran on login. I'm wondering if I need to add something other than ms-teams.exe as the DirectFlex trigger. Or if that's just something that will not with with New Teams and DirectFlex. I use FSLogix in a couple other pools and it works fine. But I leverage DEM for our main Clinical pool. I don't have enough storage for 30,000 FSLogix VMDK files! Edited July 29 by John Twilley
BenTrojahn Posted October 18 Posted October 18 You cut down the DEM capture and take it at login. I'd have to check again but I think our Teams archive is pretty small.
