User Profile Disks with Windows Search

We have 2 RDS Servers (2012R2) and work With User Profile Disks
We use outlook cached mode (Outlook 2013 SP1) because the link to our head office is to slow
The problem is that the outlook search isn't working properly.
Every time the users logs on, search indexes are recreated
This proces never finishes because the server is under a constant load, therefore search never works as it should.
In eventvwr, we see this error alot:
Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt://{S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxx}/>.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details:
The parameter is incorrect. (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)

Hi,
I have been searching for a solution for this issue in a client environment for a few months now.
Our environment is similar, RDS on Server 2012 R2 with Outlook in cached mode and the search service enabled However we are using Outlook 2010.
I disagree that the issue should be marked as resolved.
I believe you are experiencing the same issue as I and these 2 other people:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e6d4e3e6-37ef-488c-86ac-d135e3f2353f/windows-search-index-and-user-profile-disks?forum=winserverTS
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/dc6328e9-96dc-4377-a23f-0fb7020e5daa/indexing-user-profile-disk-on-a-file-server-or-on-the-rdsh-server?forum=winserverTS
When users logon, the search service begins indexing and if the user is logged on long enough it completes user files, including the OST.
However when the user logs off, Windows deletes the search data as it believes the profile has been deleted. The profile has not been deleted, the profile disk (UPD) has merely been dismounted.
We really need a resolution for this, this shouldn't be happening. The profiles are not getting deleted and the index is getting deleted for the wrong reason.
Furthermore if this issue is not fixable, then it will delay our push to move clients to Office 365. If we cannot index offline email on RDS, then we simply cannot move our Exchange servers offsite.
Unfortunately no resolution has been provided from Microsoft as yet to any of these 3 people who requested support.
Can anyone else shed any light on this?
Thanks, Nigel

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.

Please help, it should not be that hard to achieve this.

Server 2012 R2 user profile disks and outlook search not working

Hi,
I`m having a problem with my setup for quite some time now with Windows Search and indexing the outlook OST files.
I`m using user profile disks in my setup but it seems that Windows Search can`t index the user profile disks, hence when i`m searching in outlook (the OST file is located in the user profile disk) with windows search enabled i`m not getting any results because
it can`t index the OST file.
If I don`t use the disks then windows search works fine but because i`m using clustered TS servers I need the profile disks and I don`t want to go back to redirects if possible..
At the moment I`ve disabled Windows Search which forces outlook to search online, it works but is slow..

Next issue that popped up, after the user logs off it will deleted the indexed data and start over the next time the user logs on..
Any fix for that?
There are three other Technet threads describing the same exact problem about indexing data being deleted when a user logs off from RDS. I'm experiencing this bug also and haven't found anything to fix it yet.

App-V 5 SP2 as RemoteApps and User Profile Disks with Error Error 0xc0000142

App-V packages are published as RemoteApps and User Profile Disks are used.
Similar to the problem posted
here .
Some packages are running without an error (e.g. Acrobat Reader) and some other (e.g. Notepad++) could not launch.
The result is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the Program.
If UPD is disabled, packages running before gets now the error and the non-launching apps are running now.
The post by Steve TH "App-V 5.0: On these 0xc0000142 errors and where they are coming from" give
me an idea what´s may going on. But could not find anything related in the logs.
An answer was set as solution in this
post but it´s not clear for me, how to setup the Sequencer.
8.3 is enabled on all VMs.
How to setup the sequencer and the UPD configuration to run this scenario without the error?

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 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?

User Profile Disks - Backup/Restore

I was considering deploying User Profile Disks in my 2012 R2 RDS environment instead of Roaming Profiles / Folder Redirection.
However, I have noticed a potential flaw unless someone can shed some light on this. With UPD being relatively new there is limited documentation on this.
If I backup my UPD directory (stored on a central server), and / or my Terminal Servers and I use a backup product which allows granular file-level restore. Initial testing shows that this won't work as you would want it to e.g. I can restore the VHDX
associated with the UPD but cannot restore the individual files stored on the UPD e.g. a single word document.
This leads me to think it is more beneficial to use the tried and tested Roaming Profiles / Folder Redirection combo. Or indeed, possibly deselect the UPD option for Documents etc. and combine UPD with Folder Redirection.
Or does anyone have any further info on this?

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description I can say that you understand correctly. Sorry to say but you cannot restore the individual files stored on the UPD e.g. a single word document. As we need to backup and restore the whole UPD for the user. Previously, profiles could be
corrupted if used simultaneously on multiple computers. User profile disks are specific to the collection, so they can’t be used on multiple computers simultaneously. User profile disks can be stored on Server Message Block (SMB) shares, cluster shared volumes,
SANs, or local storage.
Please refer beneath for more information.

User Profile Disks - User registry data

In Server 2012 standard (not R2)
using RD
in Session Collection
and in the "User Profile Disks" tab
I have ticked “Enable user profile disks”
If I select the second radar-button
"Store only the following folders on the user profile disk"
What is the effect of ticking "User registry data" ?
What is the result in the template.vhdx ?
and when a new user logs in
Is all the user registry "moved" to the UPD user .vhdx file where it is then maintained
or
Is a folder re-direction preserved in the UPD and the registry data still updated in its original location ?

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
During first logon, a virtual disk (VHDX) is created from a template disk. This VHDX is attached to the virtual machine or RD Session Host server that the user is logging on to. The profile service is then notified to use this VHDX as the location for the user’s
profile. When the user logs off, the VHDX is then detached from the virtual machine.
By default, the entire user’s profile is stored on the user profile disk. This includes the Documents folder, the user’s registry hive (holds application and Windows settings), and much more.
On subsequent logons to the collection, the VHDX is remounted to whatever virtual machine or RD Session Host server the user is logging on to. The user then has access to everything in his or her profile, even if this is a different virtual machine, or if the
virtual machine has been rolled back to a clean state between logons.

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks

Hello,
I'm implementing Server 2012 RDS session-based.
Can I increase the limit of User Profile Disk after it is initially set?
Is it ok that my Admin user has a User Profile Disk i.e. no local profile on the server as they did previously.
Are PSTs supported on User Profile Disks - previously PSTs were unsupported on network share - User Profile Disks are on network share.
I had an issue where a UPD was created for a user - I then delete the UPD. I then logged in as the user (a domain admin) and expected a local profile to be created - this didn't happen. A temporary profile was created instead. This was unexpected.

Hi Gary,
You can try to change the size of User Profile Disk by mounting .Vhdx file. Please refer below thread for information.
Resize User Profile Disks
As per my research, i can suggest you to use admin local user profile on server.You can get more information for UPD on below listed article.

What share/ntfs permission i've to setup for user profile disks on Server 2012 R2?

Please, let me know.

Lasandro Lopez

Hi Lasandro,
As far as I know, share permissions for UPD are automatically set up by the management tools.
Besides, regarding how to install and configure UPD, the following article can be referred to as reference.

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.

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.
I have two problems.
First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, at
logoff, the system event log contains these errors:
The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start. The data contains the error code.
The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:
It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected"
before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Second:
Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved
the problem described below.
My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk
file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD and
always logs on with a temporary profile.

We experience less to zero problems after an outage with our User Profile Disks when we use the option: "Store all user settings and data on the user profile disk". Other then when we use the other checkbox (even though all checkboxes
underneath are checked).
Our test setup was, an RDSH 2012 r2 server(s), with an 2012r2 server holding the share.
We first tried the "store all user settings" for the User Profile Disk, we logged several accounts onto our RDSH Server we then disconnected our server which holds the share to simulate an outage. After about 5 minutes we connected the
server again holding the share. When the share comes back online, we logged off the users and logged them back in. The result was a valid profile for all the accounts including their last changes from before the share got disconnected.
The exact same test was done with the option: "Store only the following folders on the user profile disk" with all checkboxes underneath checked, which gave us corrupt profiles.. We also did these tests by giving the server holding the share a reboot instead
of an disconnect from network. This gave us the same result. Each test was done at least 2 to 3 times..
I hope others can confirm this as well in their situation, as it seems to be a bug within that specific checkbox.
Looking at the above tests, the best way in my test cases were to exclude the default folders (f.e.: \Documents) if you would like to redirect them instead of using them inside your User Profile Disk. Redirects can be done through GPO Folder redirection
options or GPO registry combined with Environment Variables.
Even after several attemps to simulate an outage, i get left with consistent profiles. I've now also included an hard reset of my virtual machine (that gave the same results as a disconnect of the network card). This was all done through using the: "Store
all user settings in the user profile disk". The other option left us with inconsistent profiles. I hope others can confirm this as well..
Looks to me that the type of connection towards the User profile happens different. You can see this when looking at the C:\users\<username> and subfolders if you use user profile disks. The 2 options show different symbols as well.

App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS Client with hotfix 2 breaks frequently on Windows 2012R2 with User Profile Disks enabled

Hi All,
I am at my wit's end trying to troubleshoot this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are having serious stability issues with App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS in our environment with User Profile Disks enabled.
We have applied the latest hotfix but the issues persist.
The main problems are:
1. Periodically the client seems to become corrupted and all applications stop working for all users. All applications including the official Microsoft Office 2013 ones - not just our packages.
The symptoms are the same as if I change the App-V Client Service account to run under a user account instead of SYSTEM, so it suggests a file access issue. The log files also hint at this, and one of there errors is similar to this:
The virtual application 'C:\Users\rds.user9\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\A3EF9C01-C0E9-4AC5-B21F-DB9B1D2F700C\Root\Mindjet\MindManager 14\MindManager.exe' could not be started because the
App-V Subsystem 'Virtual Filesystem' could not be initialized. {error: 0x6740090A-0x20003}
Once this problem occurs the only way I have found to fix it is to either completely remove and reinstall the client, or (perhaps this is the big clue) rename the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Volumes , unpublish
an application, then republish said application.
I don't even think it matters which application gets published. The point seems to be that this 'Volumes' key gets rewritten.
I am highly suspicious that our issues are caused by User Profile disks in our RDS environment, as when I disable them on our staging collection all of these issues seem to disappear.
I have made sure all of the servers have permissions on the share (folder and share permissions). It doesn't seem to make a difference.
2. Some application fail completely with User Profile Disks enabled. If we switch the setting from "Store all settings and data on the user profile disk" to "Store Only the following folders" there seems to be some improvement,
in that at least one application that fails on the other setting starts to work.
3. We have already set that NTFS 8 dot 3 reg fix some time ago.
SOS!
We have gone live this week (not my call) and this is having disasterous consequences. :(
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I did try this a while ago without success, although it may be worth revisiting with SP2 applied.
I have left this client now.
I left them a Powershell script that deletes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\MAV\Configuration\Volumes
and triggers an Unpublish/Publish of an application we have deployed to all of the servers.
This seems to work, but a fix would be better than a workaround.
Not really my problem now though - I did my best.
Thanks,
John

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
Any other suggestions welcome!

Log on as batch task with User Profile Disks

We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop deployment, where we use user profile disks stored on a central file server.
We are trying to run a scheduled tasks as a user, while they are logged off.
When the tasks runs, I can see an event in event viewer that says it was unable to load the user's profile, and as such, the Excel add in that is part of the tasks is not enabled, and as such the tasks fails to complete successfully.
Is this a limitation of the user profile disks? Can the server load the user profile disk even without the user logging in interactively?
Cheers, Eds

Hi Amy,
The task itself isn't failing, but the action the task executes fails, because it has logged in with a temporary profile.
The last run time of the task was 14/04/2015 10:49:00, completing at 10:49:02. At this time, there is an event in the event viewer:
As the tasks is logging in with a temporary profile, the Excel add-ins that user has are not loaded, and the action fails. This is the log from the application itself that is trying to run:
The report 'PATH_TO_SPREADSHEET.xlsx' failed to run with the following error: 'Cannot run the macro 'JetMenu'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled.'.
The macro it is referring to is an Excel reporting add-in.
I think what I need to happen, is for the server to mount the users User Profile Disk, so that it does not load a temporary profile.
Many thanks
