Pooled VDI - User Profile disk vs roaming profiles

Hi,
Apologies is this is the wrong forum, cannot find a VDI specific one...
I am looking at deploying a Server 2012 VDI solution for a college. The VM's would be pooled and based on a single image which contains all the required software for students. I want zero persistence, in a similar way which can be achieved in
the physical world with something like deepfreeze. As students will still use physical desktops in other areas I would like their roaming profiles to still be used.
With that in mind would the VDI solution work as follows...?
Student logs on
Roaming profile is loaded from existing share to a temporary disk
students logs off
roaming profile is saved back to network share
temporary disk is disposed
VDI image is reverted back to pre logon
This would be a great solution and would make these student areas much easier to manage.
Thanks

Hi,
You can setup UPD to meet your needs.

Windows 2012 RDP "resets" user settings while using Roaming Profiles

Last month we installed a RDP environment running a Windows 2012 DC and 2 Windows 2012 RDP servers. The RDP servers are running in a pool.
For the rest it's nothing fancy.
The problem is that user-settings are reset, most likely during logon. This only occurs when we use Roaming Profiles.
- We create a new user, in a container with no GPO's attached.
- This user gets a RP while logging on, no errors, at logoff the RP is written to it's correct folder.
- Logging on again. Now for example I make Chrome standard browser and change the program which opens JPG files.
- Logging off
- I check the NTUSER.DAT in the RP folder and the changes I made can be found in the file. So it has been saved to the NTUSER.DAT.
- Now I login again and check the settings I made. IE is standard browser again and the JPG setting is also back to standard.
- Logging off
- Checking the NTUSER.DAT in the RP folder and yes, everything is back to default.
Now the funny part is, when I create a user with a local profile, everything is working properly. Settings been saved.
It doesn't make a different what kind of user it is. Domain User, Domain Admin. They all have the same problems when using RP's.
No error messages in the Event Viewer.
I'm clearly unable to solve this problem. Hoping someone can help me on this one.
What makes the settings reset at logon while using Roaming Profiles?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you enable Cache copies option of roaming profiles?
This issue might occurs because the User Profile service does not load the terminal server roaming profile correctly after the user account password is reset.
When the Delete cache copies of roaming profiles Group Policy setting is enabled, and when a user is prompted to change the user account password, the User Profile service loads a local temporary user profile. The User Profile service loads this user profile
to perform the password reset operation. However, the profile changes to a combination of the local temporary profile and of the roaming profile after the user password is reset. Therefore, the terminal server roaming profile is not loaded correctly.
In addition, please try to delete the SID of the user from registry key and check the result. You can follow the below path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
More information:
You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message

Move Users Favorites Folder in Roaming Profile and then Delete?

Hello,
My current scenario is as follows for user accounts:
\\90.244.233.10\userprofile$\User-16 (this is their profile path)
\\90.244.233.10\userprofile$\User-16\Favorites (this is their favorites folder)
I need to take the above favorites folder and move it to their userhome$ folder found here:
\\90.244.233.10\userhome$\%username%\Favorites (these folders already exist)
Then delete their complete userprofile$ folder.
How can I achieve this using powershell? I think the tricky part for me is going through each folder in userprofile$ and looking for a \Favorites folder and then matching that userprofile$ foldername to %username% since they're the same.
Thank you.

This worked:
gc users.txt | % {
$user = "$_"
if (Test-Path -Path "\\90.244.233.10\userprofile$\$user\Favorites")
copy-item -path \\90.244.233.10\userprofile$\$user\Favorites -destination \\90.244.233.10\userhome$\$user\
remove-item -path \\90.244.233.10\userprofile$\$user -recurse

User Profile Disks - exclusions not working

I'm utilizing User Profile Disks to handle profiles between my Session Host servers. I have some odd requirements on which folders need to be included in the UPD, so for this reason, I am using the option of "Store all user settings and data on the
user profile disk" and then I am trying to exclude specific folders. However the exclusions are not working properly.
For example, I am trying to exclude AppData\Roaming\Adobe. In Server Manager under the profile disk settings, I add an exclusion of \AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
However after I connect to a RemoteApp and my profile disk is created, when I mount the UPD, I see that this folder is still created inside the VHDX. Am I entering the path incorrectly? How would I properly exclude a specific folder from being redirected
to the user profile disk?

Hi ,
This issue may occur if the user profile was manually deleted by using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer and if the “Do not logon users with temporary profiles” Group Policy setting is configured.
A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) from the profile list in the registry.
If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile by using the ProfileImagePath that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.
To resolve this problem open yourself, follow these steps:
Right click Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Under User Profiles, click Settings > In the User Profiles dialog box, select the profile that you want to delete > click Delete > Apply/OK.
Also check your Synchronization Connection Settings in User Profile Service application also make sure you are running this service application with Service Account i.e. Account with Farm Admin permission.
Please mark the same as answer if it helps you.Thanks.

Local forest roaming profiles with remote forest users within RDS?

We have been using RDS for some time now. New users get a new profile from (*1)"\\domain_1\netlogon\Default User.v2" when they first logon to a RDS session host. Ones that is done, the profile is becomes roaming profile that is stored on (*2) "\\some_serverx_in_domain_1\profiles$\%username%".
(Note, this last setting can be set in 4 different places. We used a GPO and used the Remote Desktop Services section to set it)
So far, no rocket science. Now...
Recently we've been asked to allow user accounts from another (trusted) forest (domain_2) to our RDS environment. These users are able to logon to our RDS environment but they do not get a fresh profile from our (*1) default profile location. Instead, they
get a default profile from the RDS session host and this new profile does not become roaming so it is not saved to our (*2) location. How can we force the foreign accounts to get a roaming profile within domain_1 without having to change anything outside our
administrative border?
Note: Their logon servers do not have a "Default User.v2" in their netlogon and their roaming profile settings are set in the AD properties for the user accounts. The roaming profiles they use are pre-2008 and thus unusable for our 2008-R2 RDS environment.
We are not looking for cross-forest roaming profile functionality. We just want foreign accounts to use our roaming profile setup. Please Help!

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Make sure the trusted forest user have permission to access the Default User profile. In addition, ensure the following policy was enabled:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\Allow Cross-Forest User Policy and Roaming User Profiles
Allows User based policy processing, Roaming User Profiles and User Object logon scripts for cross forest interactive logons. This setting affects all user accounts interactively logging on to a computer in a different forest when a Cross Forest or 2-Way
Forest trust exists.

OneDrive Sync Settings with Domain Account Roaming Profile

This question seems to have been asked in various manners online including here at TechNet but it has never actually been answered that I can find.
Home domain using Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, client is Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit with Update 1. Logged in as a domain user account with a Roaming Profile and Folder Redirection connected to a Microsoft Account.
Under PC Settings > OneDrive > Sync Settings, everything is greyed out and disabled. I wasn't too bothered about it previously however with Windows Phone 8.1 out now it means that I cannot use Tab Sync with Internet Explorer 11 on the phone.
I have a GPO which excludes the following folders from the Roaming Profile to both allow Folder Redirection to function and also to allow the OneDrive app to function: "Downloads;Pictures;My Pictures;Music;My Music;Videos;My Videos;Dropbox;SkyDrive;OneDrive"
I am using the Primary Computer attribute with a second GPO which limits profile redirection to the users primary computer.
When logging on to my Primary Computer with the Roaming Profile activated, all of the Sync Settings are disabled but on another machine which is non-primary and therefore my roaming profile does not sync, I can connect my Microsoft Account to the local
profile generated on this machine and all of the Sync Settings are available, clearly linked to the Roaming element of the profile.
Is the non-functionality of Sync Settings on domain accounts with Roaming Profiles by design or by virtue of the fact that things are trying to steer away from Roaming Profiles now? I love the Sync features but in that they don't sync everything (3rd party
Application Settings for example) there is a need for both features to exist in parallel.
There is a new section in Group Policy to limit the use of the Sync Settings features for Enterprises which wish to prevent users from using these features so I don't understand the reason for it to not function at all for anyone.

Blocking Roaming Profile Problem

I am working on a new Server 2012r2 system where roaming profiles need to be blocked/disabled. I linked the same GP I have used for Server 2008r2 systems that sets the following at
Computer Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates | System | User Profiles to help accomplish this:
Only allow local user profiles: Enabled
Prevent Roaming Profile changes from propagating to the server: Enabled
However, after applying this to the Server 2012r2 system, user roaming profiles continue to load and unload, i.e. neither of the settings above appear to be correctly taking effect. I have confirmed that both of these settings
are applying according to gpresult, and I also confirmed that the corresponding registry keys were successfully created at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System:
LocalProfile: 1 (dword)
ReadOnlyProfile: 1 (dword)
I have rebooted the server several times, and also enabled “Always wait for the network at startup” just in case, but roaming profiles continue to be enabled on this Server 2012r2 system. I was also able to replicate this
on another Server 2012r2 system in our environment.
As a test, I removed the GP disabling roaming profiles and applied these settings locally using gpedit, but this produced the same behavior.
Questions:
Is there something different on Server 2012r2 that needs to be set to disable roaming profiles from loading and being saved?
Is anyone else seeing this in their environment?
Have I overlooked anything? Does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions?
Please let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks!
-Aakash Shah

Hello Frank! Thank you for your reply and for confirming that it works as expected in your environment.
I noticed the following behavior for 2 test users on this server, which helped me conclude that roaming profiles were not successfully disabled on the server:
Assuming a blank roaming profile (no Profile.V2 folder), upon login, a blank
Profile.V2 folder is created in the roaming profile path. Upon logout, the local profile is saved/synced to the roaming profile path (the
Profile.V2 folder now has contents in it).
If there exists a roaming profile prior to first login, it is loaded on the server (for example, the taskbar icons appear from the roaming profile.
I am also able to delete the local profile on the server, and the above behavior can be reproduced.
Also, as a test, I also had attempted to set UseProfilePathExtensionVersion=1 at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Services\ProfSvc\Parameters, and this produced a similar behavior as above, except that it created a Profile.V4 folder instead of Profile.V2 - but the local profile continued to
be written to the roaming profile path.
Please let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks.

Locally cached copy of roaming profiles are being created with username.domainname.00x suffix

First off let me give some background as to where we've come from and how we got to where we are today. In my organazation we initially setup a Win 2k3 domain with roaming profiles. The roaming profiles worked without a problem for about 6 years. We migrated to a Windows 2k8 domain (non-2008 native mode) about two years ago. Profiles have been working fine. We recently did a rollout of 80% of our client machines with newly leased machines. Once we did this, the profile issues have been...interesting to say the least. I've been seeing a couple machines having issues loading their profiles correctly. The users will complain of not being able to use MS Outlook, or they don't have their proper desktop icons on their desktop. These erros can present themselves when the user changes their domain acct. password (per our security policey) or it may happen just out of the blue. The user may be working perfectly fine on Monday, and then log off and on Tuesday when they login to their computer, the user will have these problems. When this is reported to me, I login the computer that is having the issue and I look at the C:\Documents and Settings folder and I'll see sometimes multiple bogus profiles. The profiles have a naming convention of %username%.%domainname%.00X . The .00X will increment up 1 with each bogus profile. Each of these bogus profiles will have only the local settings folder in them. In order to fix this problem, we typically delete all the local profiles and let the computer pull the server copy back down. Can someone please shed some light on this for me. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue. All my machines are SP3 as well. I have tried UPHClean and it makes no difference. It's completely random when the username.domain.000 accounts start appearing and accounts become corrupt causing the same issue with outlook or a different set of desktop icons. After almost 3 months of having to reset user profiles (we have 1700 AD accounts and 3 IT guys), here's what I've found to this point.
WINLOGON.EXE is the culprit. UPHClean doesn't appear to work well with SP3 or this particular version of WINLOGON. WINLOGON.EXE is locking (handle) the profile directory itself.
7F8: File (RW-) C:\Documents and Settings\(User Directory)
You cannot even run a batch script or something to "restart" winlogon to unlock the folder because it's a system process. When the user logs back in, the pc sees there is already a user profile folder there so it creates a new one with the domain name, rinse and repeat and you get:
Username
Username.Domain
Username.Domain.000
Username.Domain.001
These will go on forever unless you use DELPROF in your GPO as a Computer/Windows/Startup script to remove all "USER ONLY" profiles from the docs and settings folder. This works great other than now, users seem to randomly loose their favorites. This is about the most discussed roaming profile issue on the internet but not a single person nor group of persons has created a 100% working fix for it. It's been a massive headache for me and my guys and I know thousands of other IT guys have or are still struggling with it.
PLEASE Microsoft, fix this winlogon issue so it will release the user profile directory when the user logs out. PLEASE.

User Profile Disks with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 VDI

Hello experts!
We are building a new server setup for the office and are unable to figure out why UPD will not work. We have VDI setup and a user for instance
connecting through the RDWeb workplace will dynamically get one of the available Windows 8 Machines delivered through Hyper-V and can successfully login on this machine via Active Directory. So far so good...
However, when we activate the User Profile Disks "UPD" feature the login takes forever and the VHDX will not mount on c:\users\...
as expected within the virtual Windows 8 machine.
The UPD config is quite simple, with just the path "\\vmhost\upd\" set. This share has (now during test) full access for everyone,
both on share level and on security level, but still the VHDX will not mount.
The UVHD-template.vhdx file gets created just fine when UPD is activated, and during login through RDWeb a TEMP-UVHD-S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.vhdx
gets created, but there it stops... The login process takes a couple of minutes by the "Windows förbereds" (roughly translated to English "Preparing Windows"), and then the user gets logged in with a temporary profile.
- The event log says (translated using Google translate):
Failed to obtain a user profile disk for the user account with SID S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.
Make sure the location of the user profile desk can be reached, the server's computer account has read and write permissions to the site and that there is a template file for user profile disks at the site.

Migration from Roaming Profiles to User Profile Disks - RDS 2012 (R2)

Hi, I'm currently in the process of tweaking our RDS 2012 environment and have a question I hope someone can help me with....
The users who log onto the Collection are currently using roaming profiles stored on a 2008 R2 file server, but I'd like to move them onto User Profile Disks (looks to be a lot of pro's to it). Is there a way to migrate users profiles from roaming profiles
to User Profile Disks? We already have a lot of users on the farm with roaming profiles and I'm guessing if UPD is enabled, it will only take effect with new users? I need to do this without too much hassle if possible
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot able to move\migrate the roaming user profile to new User profile disk on server 2012\R2. You need to move them manually. Please refer below thread.
Is it possible to migrate local profiles to user profile disks?

Server 2012 R2 VDI with profile disks not using domain default profile

I'm testing a VDI environment running on Windows Server 2012 R2. The VMs in the pool are running Windows 7.
I've enabled profile disks for my test pool. I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
I've found that when a new user logs into the VDI pool, the domain default user profile is not being used to create the new profile. Can this be changed?

Hi,
I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
Place default profile under netlogon share doesn’t enable users to use it as their default user profiles, which only shares the profile contents to users who have access permissions.
If you want to customize default user profile, please refer to this article below:

User Profile Disk not being created

Hi,
I created a new 2012 VDI collection. Things seems to be working fine except for the User Profile Disks are not being created. From my understanding a .vhdx prefixed with the user's SID is supposed to be created when the user logs into one of the virtual
machines from the collection. I can see that a UVHD-template.vhdx" was created correctly but when logging on to one of the deployed virtual machines from the pool there is no other .vhdx files (except the template).
From what I've read the virtualization hosts must have write access to the share (they do). I can't seem to find any other requirements. I've searched through event viewer and found nothing. I'm not sure which logs to check on which server.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?

Unable to Enable User Profile Disks in RDP server 2012R2

I am setting up a new Windows server that will act as an RDP server. The server has been built with Windows Server 2012R2.
I have the following roles and services working on the server: RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Licencing (with 30 user cal licences), the RD Connection broker, and the RD session host.
I have a SSL certificate configured and installed on the site, and both external and internal DNS are configured and working.
I have created and published an application collection and this is working. That is, when you go to https://remote.<servername>.org you are presented with a log in screen, users can log in with their domain accounts and then can connect to the published
applications, this is working both on our internal network and from the general internet.
So all the roles on the server are working and the collection itself is also working. However, what I cannot do is set it up so that we can use user profile disks with that collection. When I go through the Session Collection Wizard and I get to "User
Profile Disks" I can click on "Enable user profile disks" and then you can enter the options below.
I am entering the share location under location \\<servername>\<sharename>
I am using the default "store all user settings and data on the user profile disk"
Then I go to create the profile disks and I get the following error:
"Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: -2147024809
This has happened multiple times, I have done the following:
- installed all windows updates and rebooted the server, same error
- checked the share permissions AND the folder permission for that share, for testing purposes I have set permissions on both the folder and the share to allow full control to "everyone" (I also tried it with only "domain users") but
same error message.
- I have checked to see that no quotas are imposed on the disk where I am attempting to create the profile disks - this was because this was the closest thing I could find on Technet was this post:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/ru-RU/aec30527-d742-42b9-950e-85c709c4cb45/vdi-problem-creating-user-profile-disks?forum=winserverhyperv
And that was a quota issue that I am not having.
The UPD wizard says the following "the servers in the collection must have full control permission on the user profile disk share and the current user must be a member of the local Administrators group on that server"
Both of those things are true.
I have attempted to search for that specific error message (-2147024809) and have found nothing on Technet or any other site.
I am hoping someone here has some thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I was looking at both the technet article for setting up UPD as well as this walk-through:
http://thewolfblog.com/2014/02/24/user-profile-disks-for-rds-2012-2012-r2/
The step after the creation of the disk in this walk-through is to look at who has permission on the .vhdx file, now obviously I am not at that step, but that is what led me down the trail of looking at user permissions, hence my attempts to set up shares
where 'everyone' has full permissions on both the share and the folder.
I have tried to set up multiple shares for the collection, I have tried on two different disks (volumes) on the RDP server itself, I also tried setting up a share on our fileserver (which has all kinds of shares working fine) and the same error occurred
in all cases.
I also found this Technet article:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/d6469d31-6540-4075-a85f-a6e8f7c11e89/user-profile-disk-template-cannot-be-created-when-setting-up-session-collection?forum=winserverTS
So that seems close to what I am looking for, but I have checked and the exact group policy that was causing the above linked issue is not defined in our group policies, but maybe there are other group policies that are causing the issue?

User defined custom Windows theme is not saved during roaming profile syncronization

Hi,
We have Windows 8.1 computers in a 2012 domain. The user profiles is roamed to a file server during logon and logoff.
We have excluded many folders under appdata\roaming and appdata\local and was also excluding \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes, but included this folder again in the roaming profile.
Our problem is that the users is saving a custom Windows theme, but when logging out and in again the settings is still there, but after a while the custom color settings set back to Windows defaults.
We are using VMware View 5.3 and are using non-persistent pools, this means that the users get a new "computer" every time they login and at logoff the computer is reset/revert to default snapshot and given to another user.
Therefore most of the settings under Local appdata and all localow appdata files and configurations is reset at logoff for users.
what is the required files/folders/registry keys to fully support custom Windows themes ? If we have that info we can include the necessary files in our user enviroment.
we have not found any userful info on the web for this specific issue.

Hi,
In my opinion, you can try to create a new Default User Profile on this system and mondify its defualt theme as you want. Because everytime new user login, it would generate the new user profile based on Default User Profile.
You can refer to the content below for more details:
Customize the default local user profile when preparing an image of Windows:

Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]
Yes, I we have already made a custom theme on the image, but in this case we need to configure a special theme for one specific user during logon.
Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Remote Desktop Services - User Profile Disks

Hello
I am testing a new RDS 2012 R2 setup using UPD's but have stubled into a problem.
When I logon to RDS as a user and setup the profile so it uses the right Web Client and setup Outlook etc, then log out.
I then log back in with the same user and his settings have not been saved.
I have it set to replciate the usual documents etc so the UPD just handles Roaming Data and Registry. However I notice that the user I logged in is set to a local user in the profiles list and I cannot change him to roaming.
Anyone ever come accross this and can help?
Thanks

Hi, that hotfix was already applied. Troubleshooting the issue further, it seemed that the user's UPD was locked or corrupted. After I had all users logoff the Terminal Servers, I rebooted the Server that was hosting the UPDs. After the reboot, the user's
profile loaded correctly on all Terminal Servers.
