Me too 🙂

Which link is that?

It slows down the login even with fslogix?

I guess it will slow down the login, if there are many files to delete?

Sure @Cory Zaner a redirections.xml will slow down a bit, but without logons will be slower & slower over time (customer reported). Will re-enable the xml, which was removed due to Outlook index issues. Was resolved today, RoamSearh dword = 2 needs to be set on Master Image, due to GPO / Service startup delay issuses.

I think he was asking if its slowing down fslogix profile as well or maybe misread it lol

Why even use the redirection xml? Is the profile taking too much space? I just keep everything

When I first implement fslogix. I didn't use exclusions. But i seen the profile growing big time. Which space isn't a issue. But i figured why not exclude the junk. I never seen it slow down logins though. Even at 30gb profiles. But every environment is different. I would say use the exclusions now, for profile management best practices. But each is own.

The only reason to use a redirections xml is to maintain a level of cleanliness and try and keep space utilised to a minimum. Be it a 2Gb or 25Gb profile, there should be zero impact to logon times - a container mount is a container mount

We use the XML file for a few folders, some out of necessity. I'm 100% going to be using it for trash apps like Teams to keep the unnecessary bloat down.

Google Chrome and the coming new Edge are also likely candidates for the "trash app" label 🙂

Yep, I've already got the new XML file lined up for that trash app, too.

😄

Just waiting for us to complete the 1912 upgrade first.

Yeah, and my guess is that the new Edge isn't much better

FWIW, I was using this sample as a template for my Chrome testing (just the Chrome lines), which seemed to work well: https://www.sul.de/2019/04/05/fslogix-in-a-citrix-provisioning-environment/

I think I have come across the article at some point, but it may be worth a revisit as I have an upgrade at a customer which have a lot of Google Chrome users

Man, that's some awful formatting.

It really is :D

Teams redirection

Wow...nice feature

Nope, just uploaded the XML file. The code block was the garbled mess you saw before I deleted it, lol.

oh..good to know
