I want to come down to User Profile Disks, and enable them, then I need to put the name of the share which is (in my case) rdcb01\userprofiledisks. In the top right within the properties section, click on tasks and select Edit Properties. In addition to share permissions the users also need NTFS permissions, and they’re going to need at least modify.Īfter the shared folder is created, open Server Manager and within the Remote Desktop Services node, select the Collection. I am going to leave the share permissions to as default.Click Apply and OK to close it.

I am going to use Advanced Sharing, so it will be shared as UserProfileDisks. Once I’ve created share, I’m going to right-click and go to Properties,Īnd I need to share it out. I created a share in C:\Collection1\UserProfileDiks I will store them on my Connection Broker RDCB01 ( In real life you should store them on file server) Let’s see how we can enable User Profile Disksīefore I enable user profile disks, I’m going to create a share where they can be stored. I recommend to name each file share according to the collection with which it is associated. User Profile Disks are restricted a single session, which means if a user is logged into one RDS host, they cannot connect to another and they cannot have more than one session active on a single host.Properties of User Profile Disks are set automatically upon creation and contain all profile data and registry settings by default.User profile disks are for a single collection only –> A user connecting to two different collections will have two separate profiles.Things to know before implementing User Profile Disks User profile disks can be stored on Server Message Block (SMB) shares, cluster shared volumes, SANs, or local storage.User profile disks are specific to the collection, so they can’t be used on multiple computers simultaneously Previously, profiles could be corrupted if used simultaneously on multiple computers.If the user profile disk was not configured while the collection was being created, you can go to the properties of the collection and edit the user profile disks there. (We will take a look at a great tool (SIDDER) and see which User Profile Disk belongs to which domain user) vhdx file manually if they need to make any changes. If the user is not logged on, admins can actually mount the. Users GUID will be used as the name of the file, so you’d have to know their GUID if you want to know which file goes with which user. For every new users that logs on a new VHDX file is created based on the template. When we enable user profile disks, it creates a template called file in the share. When the user logs on, their profile disk is attached to their session and detached when the user logs out. User Profile Disks is an alternative to roaming profiles and folder redirection in RDS scenarios. User profile disks centrally store user and application data on a single virtual disk that is dedicated to one user’s profile.
