FSLogix Container (Office/Profile) in Citrix Environments

Recently, I have been involved more and more in projects where Office365 is to be fully implemented in Citrix environments. This means that the customer not only needs the standard Office applications Outlook, Excel and Word, but also wants to use teams and OneDrive.

But this is exactly where we, without additional software, have big problems in non-persistent desktop environments. For example with our profiles (Team Installer stores its data in the profile) or so that the data is downloaded from the Internet every time (excluding OneDrive Sync data in the profile).

However, we have recently been in the fortunate position of being able to use FSLogix “free of charge” for this purpose, if we meet the following requirements:

Microsoft 365 E3/E5
Microsoft 365 A3/A5/ Student Use Benefits
Microsoft 365 F1/F3
Microsoft 365 Business
Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5
Windows 10 Education A3/A5
Windows 10 VDA per user
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Client Access License (CAL)
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Subscriber Access License (SAL)

WEM Administration Console Version 1906 – Part 4 (Administration & Monitoring)

Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

In the fourth (and last) part of the series about the WEM Administration Console, I give you an insight into the menu items Administration & Monitoring.

Workspace Environment Management Version 1811 is out now

The new Current Release of WEM is out now. It does not include many new features, but a lot of bug fixes.

What’s new

A Profile Management health status column is provided on the Administration > Agents > Statistics tab. As of this release, Workspace Environment Management supports performing automated status checks on your agent hosts to determine whether Profile Management is configured optimally. You can view the status in the column.

WEM Administration Console Version 1906 – Part 3 (Active Directory Objects, Transformer Settings and Advanced Settings)

Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

WEM Administration Console Version 1906 – Part 2 (System Optimization, Policies & Profiles and Security)

Update of the article to the Workspace Environment Management Version 1906.

Now I continue with the second part of the series about the WEM Administration Console. I give an insight into the menu items System Optimization, Policies & Profiles and Security.

System Optimization

These settings are designed to lower resource usage on the agent host machine. They help to ensure that freed-up resources are available for other applications, increasing user density by supporting more users on the same server hardware. The System Optimization settings are machine-based.

When your virtual machines have different hardware configurations, consider creating multiple configuration sets for them, and configuring the system optimization settings differently for each configuration set. Machines can only belong to one configuration set.
