D81 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hi Im implementing an horizon 8 enviroment with instant clones + FSlogix to store the configurations of the user profiles. Initialy we are not using Office containers, so everything will be stored by default on the FSLogix container (The user will also use GPO for folder redirection). So in order to avoid a big growing of the default FSlogix container, based on your experience what folders would you add to the exclusion list for FSlogix? Would you create a specific "clearing" script to be launched during the logoff? If so, what would you include on that script? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Karibov Posted Tuesday at 02:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:01 PM (edited) Hi We disabled caching mode and pst files for Outlook Exluded folders with browsers cache and other software logs. For example: AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache for Chrome AppData\Roaming\ZoomVDI\logs for Zoom etc Tuned GPO to clear browsers cache when closing a browser Edited Tuesday at 02:02 PM by Alex Karibov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Karibov Posted Tuesday at 02:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:12 PM Also I've exluded Downloads folder because our users liked to pile up a lot of files there and never deleted them )) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D81 Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM Thanks for sharing... I plan to use GPO or DEM for folder redirection and use it for My documents, Desktop, Images and probably nothing else. The rest of the folders would be excluded from FSlogix so when the user log off the Instant clone will destroy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenWagner7 Posted Tuesday at 05:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:40 PM When using FSLogix Profile containers, I'd also recommend using Folder Redirection so that the user's folders are redirected separately. This way, the folders (Desktop, MyDocs, Downloads, etc) don't contribute to the FSLogix Profile container size. Additionally, if you're using folder redirection, you benefit from VSS snapshots on your file server. Having these separate, if the FSLogix profile container ever becomes corrupt, the user will not lose their folders, whereas if they were included, they may. 1 Quote Stephen Wagner (President, Digitally Accurate Inc.)

Thanks @StephenWagner7 for the tips, then would you recomend to use GPO or DEM for folder redirection? is there any pros and cons from each choice?

StephenWagner7 Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM If you have a simple environment and haven't deployed DEM, then you could use GPO. If you want a more powerful way to configure user settings and environment settings, and more granular control over applying different settings to users, you could use DEM 🙂 1 Quote Stephen Wagner (President, Digitally Accurate Inc.)
