Should I be using TS? Image management & Storage Roaming Profiles Patching Application Deployment Network Sysprep

Provide unique environment for each and every user ? Customize every environment with different apps and settings ? Grant users more control to allow them install and modify applciations ? Run apps that are not multi-user friendly?

2 Primary Models: Personal VM’s – 1 VHD per user, VHD state full Temporary Pooled VMs – VHDs shared between users, state reset at logoff Golden Image User 1 User n Day 2 Day n Day 2 Day n Golden Image 1 1 n n User 1 Day 1Day 2Day n PoolDay 1Day 2Day 3 Clone User 1 Personal VMs: Temporary Pooled VMs: How Important are these 2 scenarios? What % of your VDI user population will use each scenario? What type of users will use each scenario? In the pooled VMs how do you plan to handle user state? In pooled VMs how often do you hope to ‘refresh’ the pool with new images? What features do you need to help place and mange these VMs? What type of load management? Support for VM libraries?

User state can bloat VHD DO: Use roaming or mandatory profiles. Use folder redirection Place profile servers close to VDI hosts Don’t: allow folder synchronization if using pooled vm Place OSTs / PSTs in redirected folders or profile User pro-quota to stop users abusing their desktop

DO: Have planned patching cycles Understand how pathing will affect re-creation of master images Understand how patching will affect VHD size over time Use automated patching services Use App-V to reduce patching of apps in image DON’T: Allow patching to dictate use of pooled vs personal

More apps in image = more disk More apps in image = hard to patch More apps in image = more ‘golden images’

Network bandwidth planning is key: Plan for use of profiles and redirection Plan for per user bandwidth required for RDP / ICA etc Ensure the host VM server has adequate NIC bandwidth to other server infrastructure (applications, file, print etc) Make sure the user of SAN to host the VHDs is factored if SAN will run over an IP network Microsoft Confidential

In pooled / temporary VM model vm may still need to be domain joined Sysprep takes too long / requires reboot Other vendors have tools to speed this process up HOWEVER – sysprep is the only supported way to prepare a machine for use Microsoft Confidential
