I would take a serious look at CPM containers before I looked at FSLogix again, personally.
j
Yeah - that was my thinking and the view from @James Kindon who a briefly chatted to about it. The build in question will need to keep FSL for appmasking, I understand Citrix now has a comparable feature but doesnt seem quite there yet and I wouldn't want to have to redo all the rules which are working fine. There is an internal team pushing to keep FSL (Engineers) who want to test their existing profile on 2022 (currently 2019) but both v6 so it 'might fly'. We are going fresh profiles across the board either way with the potential exclusion for the team for 20 or so engineers, cheers

App Masking is an awesome feature that Citrix should copy, for sure. I swear there is at least one person here who is using CPM containers with FSL App Masking in their images.
j
Yeah - and I have no issues with that. I'll talk to the customer through some scenarios with pros and cons and see where we land ๐Ÿ™‚
j
Citrix have copied App Masking. It's called App Access and is in UPM

j
Yeah, Im sure I read your blog on it a good few months ago when it was released ๐Ÿ™‚
And there it is ๐Ÿ™‚
n
Well, TIL
j
It works better now through the GUI. The only thing it lacks is the Redirection Rules
n
First glance, holy shit is that a horrid config
I was going to say, the GUI needs to be improved
j
Whats your view Rankin? New build, CPM or FSL? ta
j
To your original point, I'd use UPM Containers with the replication feature

It also does failover quite well
j
Nice
n
Those of us on LTSR will have to wait for that feature.
j
If you want local caching of containers, though, you will need the very latest release - and I haven't fully tested it yet

Biggest issue with CPM is you have to go CR to get the good stuff. Otherwise Iโ€™m leaning more towards CPM than FSLogix. Iโ€™ve given feedback to Citrix about making CPM non LTSR like WEM. If you are able, you should give feedback as well.

j
Yeah I'm pretty much a CR advocate but will add my voice to it
j
Cheers @Jarian Gibson - Client in question is CR latest release Citrix Cloud so no dramas there ๐Ÿ™‚
n
I have asked the same. Having Citrix officially support CR CPM in an LTSR environment would be enough.
j
Thanks, lads. Good feedback and insights ๐Ÿ™‚
Do you know if there is a container compaction feature built in like FSL has now for managing size/whitespace? ta
n
In build 2305 there is, yes.
j
Nice.
n
That said, I wonder if the old FSL compaction scripts - like Jim Moyle's - would work on CPM containers. I imagine that it would.
j
yeah its just VHD, right. Rather do automagically though...
n
For sure
j
Yes there is native compaction

But with more configurable parameters than FSLogix

@Nick Panaccio are you referring to WEM tool hub to configure UPM app control ? Please let us know your suggestions. Thanks.
n
No, I was referring to the command line screenshots in James's article
a
@James Rankin , do you mind to update article and add WEM tool hub? ๐Ÿ™‚
post the YouTube video here in case missed

Now that GUI is slick.

@Anthony Shi I will do when I get a minute
