Nope, never. Didn't want stagnant data sitting around.

I was thinking that. I never have either. Wanted some feedback.

So even when I had the cache in a non-persistent location (not on the WC disk), it was never an issue. WEM downloaded the cache as part of my startup script (remember that?). Didn't really need it in the newer builds of WEM.
That said, I did continue to run James' WEM script that backed up the cache at boot. Worked flawlessly.
FWIW, I have the same viewpoint for other stuff in general, like GPOs. I never cache a GPO in the master image.

Oh yea, I use that still. I was asked a question and I could not answer it. If WEM is down, and there is no Cache how can it use cache. Which stubbed me as I never thought about that. Most of my deploys I still use the pressisten WC drive. But in this case I was going to keep it on the C drive, but then that question arrised.

My answer to that question would be, what if the data is old/outdated? Now you have broken settings.
I don't think I'd do it the old way again - gotta stay on the WC drive - which was not always the recommendation.
r
Old way as of moving it to persistent drive?
n
Old way as in storing it in the master image, and not on the WC disk.
r
oh I see.
Got you now

Read the Citrix article on cache recommendations - it covers all scenarios now :-)
That old script of mine (and anyone else’s) is a relic now hopefully!

Thanks James, I been out of the WEM game for about 8 months. amazing how much I forgot about details.

Pay attention to sync size( like too many configuration sets) for all full sync. Or may come aross broker and DB performed issue.
