      I have a similar situation. There's no more panic. Just "let me do my job and get on with it." People sometimes see that as not taking it seriously when really, I'm just that much more on top of things.

      I've definitely walked into a few crisis that way with my old boss. Actually those were the best of work conditions - the confidence to just roll up the sleeves and get shit done. If only more of my life was like that.

      @wrx7m

      Just curious, when you chose UPD, did you choose to store all settings or just certain folders?

      Some applications don't play nicely with roaming profiles.

      UPDs mount at the usual C:\Users\user.name and the applications can't tell a difference.

      Right. But, only when the user is logged in. After they logout, that path doesn't exist. I am trying to figure out how to work around that for adding the custom (for each user) erp shortcut on their desktop in their session.

      Add the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
      That way it will always show up on each user Desktop.

      This would be nice and easy, but each user has a custom shortcut- It has a workstation ID in the target path.

      https://www.pdq.com/blog/pdq-deploy-and-powershell/
      Create a script that creates the shortcut each user Desktop and append the workstation id in the target path.

      Cool, then you should have it easy.

      FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down.

      Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post.

      Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post.

      For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate.

      With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version.

      Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going.

      As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

      @JaredBusch : Waterloo is over an hour away from Toronto, so quite the difference. Considerably different "way of life" as well.

      Similar to saying you live in Buffalo when, in fact, you live in Rochester...

      Agree. I live in the Waterloo area and it is NOTHING like Toronto.

      Not to anyone from outside the immediate area. Let alone another country halfway around the world.
