I believe FSLogix should be a standard tool you know, when you design Horizon virtual desktop and hopefully this helped you to understand how to get it up and running and test it. If I take a look at the file share, I can see that the VDH file is nicely sitting there. I logged off and logged back in, got a different machine (fslogix-2), but sure enough, I have my file on the desktop, and settings are also persisted. If I log in for the first time, you can see I am getting machine (fslogix-1) and I created a file on my desktop and changed notepad settings (change the font size). We need to configure at least two policies.Īnd define where it should store the VHD (the share we created earlier). Now you can create new GPO and link it to the OU where your virtual desktops will live.

Installing this piece of software is mostly the same as installing our DEM. Get your copy of FSLogix: (of course if you are entitled to use it). But the most power is in the combination.īy the way, if you want to learn FSLogix, not in the quick and dirty way I suggest you go to our VMware Techzone, where we have much more details: Let’s get it up and running Maybe you don’t want to pay for DEM a use the “free” FSLogix. Long story short: Both solutions FSLogix / DEM+AppVolumes can run independently.

But in combination with DEM+AppVolumes (aka JMP), you will unlock the best user experience as you can use Writable Volumes to capture user-installed applications, use DEM to pre-configure apps and also to allow users to install their apps by elevating the privileges. It does what it’s made for – secure the persistency of user data and configurations. What you see it, that FSLogix nicely fits into the stack. I think our technical marketing did a great job visualizing it and I will shamelessly steal that picture. 🙂 How FSLogix fits to Horizon JMP stack? (I know comparing it to Writable Volume is not accurate as this technology was primarily made for other function – to capture user-installed applications)īut can’t we do the same thing with Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM)? It depends. I would even compare it to our older technology (persistent disk) or AppVolumes Writable Volume and say it’s the same thing on steroids. If I should define it by my words, I would say it’s a user profile management solution, which stores all user data on a separately mounted VDH disk.

FSLogix solutions may also be used to create more portable computing sessions when using physical devices.

FSLogix solutions are appropriate for Virtual environments in both public and private clouds. I will borrow the definition from Microsoft’s official documentation page:įSLogix is a set of solutions that enhance, enable, and simplify non-persistent Windows computing environments. I would say the difficulty of the setup is a bit easier compared to our VMware Dynamic Environment Manager – mostly because the management is all done in GPO, you don’t need to deal with configuration share and you don’t need to install any management console. This a quick step by step list of task you have to to to get a profile management solution for your Instant clones or any other non-persistent virtual desktops up and running. To be honest with you this is not a comprehensive guide on how to setup FSLogix.
