Anyone seen any information on profile management w/containers and what happens if the profile share server gets disconnected or has issues? we

As of 2407 registry inclusions and exclusions apply to container profiles, would also be interested to see what Citrix say regarding it as nothing in the Citrix documentation mentions them.

App Access Control not possible with profile containers? WEM seems to think they are incompatible.

Hi Guys, we are currently testing CPM containers + OneDrive containers as a replacement for our existing FSLogix solution. We are seeing some oddities with the OneDrive containers taking anywhere from 2-4 mins to detach after the user has logged out. Anyone else experienced this? maybe a configuration issue on our end?

Hi there guys! (thanks @Chris Jeucken for inviting me) I am currently implementing CPM profile containers at a customer where they also want to make use of OneDrive. because of multiple concurrent sessions we will need OneDrive containers so I enabled the policy for this. however the OneDrive container does not get created. UPM logs show that the policy is enabled but it doesn't do anything with it according to the UPM logs: 2024-10-15;201502.154;INFORMATION;domain;username;7;13160;ProcessOneDriveContainerLogon: Process OneDrive container logon. entry <<< 2024-10-15;201502.156;INFORMATION;domain;username;7;13160;ProcessOneDriveContainerLogon: Process OneDrive container logon. exit <<< Onedrive does work but it's in the profile container. Anyone encountered this before? OS:2019 CVAD 2203CU5 CPM agent 2402CU1 non-persistant PVS

Citrix Profile Management - Manage OST Hello all, What's your favorite way to manage Outlook OST with Profile Management ? 1. Enable Outlook Native Experience 2. Enable Profile Container for !ctx_localappdata!\Microsoft\Outlook 3. Enable Large File Handling for !ctx_localappdata!\Microsoft\Outlook\*.ost 4. Other ? Thanks a lot for your answers

Heya, did anybody manage to roam Teams 2.0 + W22 with a CPM file based? That's what we use today to roam Teams 1.0 + W16, 6MB per user and it works well. Thanks!

what is the best way to maintain a profile-less workflow, with the "Delete locally cached profiles on logoff" working? essentially, I am serving a specific multi session host VDA virtual app workflow, but I do not want to maintain any user profiles for it, but I do want the locally created profiles to be wiped off as well from the server VDA? i realized if I don't specify a path to user store, the "Delete locally cached profiles on logoff" does not work. thank you

Hi Folks, we are starting to use certificate as a second factor for O365 services and I found out that if it's a temp profile, the cert request (not import as our cert can't be exported with private key) failed with the error 0x80090024 (-2146893788 NTE_TEMPORARY_PROFILE) Anyone has a way to request a cert for a temp profile? Also, I don't think it's possible to use a local profile if the UPM profile can't be loaded? Best I can find is to log off if the user can't load his profile. Not ideal. Thanks!

New day, new question, I'm building our new W22 image. I can't roam the Office 365 shared activation sign in/identity (need to sign in Outlook at each logon). I use UPM 2402 file based, FSL for Office ost. It doesn't seem compatible when using WAM and file based. Container seems to be required. So I'm exploring the accelerated mirrored folders, roaming the Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin package without too much luck for now! I am considering to disable WAM and use ADAL. I know it's not future proof but now going into full profile container to accommodate WAM roaming is overkill storage wise! I like the flexibility and tiny storage footprint of UPM file based ... Any input would be welcome especially on how to roam WAM identity with UPM file based. Thanks a mill

quick Q. Using Profile Containers (entire profile in container) does container size impact logon times at all? I thought it didnt

Do you still roam IE files/folders related? I still have this Webcachev01.dat created at 26MB and I don't see why I would keep it. Any reason? We use Chrome / Edge. A nice working W22 profile with Teams 2 roaming, activation and co. Chrome and Edge opened come at 27MB per user. It will obviously get bigger but that's a nice start.

Is there a simple solution for Citrix UPM full profile containers to exclude registry keys from Roaming?

Hello all with citrix container profiles, does anyone have any feedback on the use of multisession for w10/11 VDIs? especially with “Enable multi-session write-back for profile containers” enabled. Does it work well? we're going to migrate to 2402 and switch from fslogix to Citrix containers. thanks for answers

@James Rankin Sir...wanted to clarify something from some of your blog posts in regards to multi session and containers (and fslogix, although we dont use that). Specifically the UPM_Profile folder that gets created in c:\users alongside the regular profile name.

or anyone else who might have insight?

the UPMConfigCheck tool CItrix has, is it possible for it to look at container data as well?

In Citrix file based UPM in Exclusion list - directories is it possible to use a wildcard like Chrome\UserData\*\Extensions to cover all the various Default, Profile 1,2,3 etc folders. The help guide in the ADMX template seems to suggest it it isn't possible

I have early indications that Citrix has improved (fixed) Outlook errors with CU2. I was able to consistently cause the errors and figured out how to clean them regularly. I am now, after installing CU2, not able to recreate the issues.

Hi, I have a customer that's having some files on c:\app containing cached data that's about 20-30GB, this needs to be included into the profile container. We now use FSlogix with App masking rules to redirect the files to the FSLogix profile, but the customer wants to start using CPM. Is there a option to set this with CPM, symbolic links aren't working we have tested that.

Good morning everyone, currently we are trying to deliver the Outlook PWA app for some users. The PWA we are delivering with GroupPolicy "Configure list of force-installed WebApps". Which folders/files do we need to include in the synchronization? Now the PWA is reinstalled every time a user logs in Has anyone already had experience with this?

Hi. We are using Profile Manager 2402 CU1, setup to use containers, but we have an issue where for some users it is also storing the profile as files in the UPM_Profile folder. We have disabled streaming by GPO. For these users when they log in it will attach the vdisks, then copy the contents of the UPM_Profile down from the file server (which slows the logon down quite a lot) 2025-03-31;140818.442;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;ProcessLogon: Starting to restore directories and files. 2025-03-31;140818.443;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;Now start to copy from \\fileserver\profiles\tdc01\Win2019v6\UPM_Profile to c:\users\tdc01 2025-03-31;140818.456;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;UPM SERVICE: Finished copying from \\fileserver\profiles\tdc01\Win2019v6\UPM_Profile To c:\users\tdc01 , error code: 0 2025-03-31;140818.459;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;Start to copy profile from pending area. 2025-03-31;140818.460;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;UpmPendingArea:CopyToProfile Copying without profile streaming 2025-03-31;140818.463;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;Completed copying profile from pending area 2025-03-31;140818.463;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;UpdateLocalProfile: Copy pending area done. 2025-03-31;140818.484;INFORMATION;HEALTH;TDC01;54;28032;ProcessLogon: User logging on with Streamed Profile support disabled.

Anyone used the Citrix UPM OneDrive container feature to manage OneDrive and got any comments or experiences? The way I see it, it creates a single VHDX for OneDrive files which is then accessible from muItiple sessions, correct? Which gets around one of the limitations of FSLogix which was that it wasn't supported for concurrent sessions.

Haven’t seen this before. What would be the reason the container users the server name in addition to a container with the username? Is it multiple logins at the same time?

Greetings. I have a question about the CPM feature "Migrate User Store (https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/profile-management/2402-ltsr/configure/migrate-user-store.html) After the policies are configured when does the data transfer occur? Logon | Store1 => Store2 = VDA or Logon | Store1 => VDA; Logoff | VDA => Store2? In essence my question is, does data transfer happen in real time between stores during logon or from the old store at logon and to the new store at logoff? I appreciate any input. Thanks

having a dickens of a time identifying an issue with profile containers. server 2025, the container is created fine, user logs off, it consolidates the container. then subsequent logins they will get 'user profile service failed the signin. user profile cannot be loaded'. on server 2022, this works without issue. so its gotta be something in this build but i am not able to pinpoint it.

Hey I currently use UPM file based, the container is appealing to speed up the logon but large container is overkill for us + I I dedup which is very efficient. There is an option to use File based with container in UPM, he keeps the files and container. Any experience? Also, any experience to use a full container with UPM with lot of exclusions, similar than my file base conf to achieve similar size. Is it possible? bad idea? I know it is a bad one with FSLogix. Speaking of which, I use it for ODFC, .ost. Thanks!

Currently running into an issue where even with this set to disabled, users are getting logged off if the profile is already mounted instead of a temp profile. VDA 2402 CU2. Anybody else seen this? @Wayne Liu @Jian Song

Hi friends. I keep getting asked by management about profile containers and why when users log in the storage space on our file server goes down. I tried explaining that it creates a RW container when auser logs in, and then merges it into the regular vhdx when they log off, which is why the free space on the file server hosting the profiles changes. Is there any blog or diagram or anything out there someone remembers that would explain this better than I can?

The documentation says this features does NOT apply to citrix profile CONTAINERS. if that's true, is there any way to remove appdata\local\temp from all user profile containers after making policy change to exclude that directory from CPM?
