Just as a note for those cost conscious companies - Premium File Shares will charge you based on your provisioned capacity, regardless if you are using the storage.
In your example of 3TB, you are paying for 3TB from day 1, even if you have 100 users with 10GB profiles at the start consuming ~1TB.

I like to put in storage alerts to expand the provisioned capacity, or leverage Nerdios dynamically scaling storage if it's in-place.

Great video! The ODFC was something I thought I knew, but I learnt something for sure.

You have no idea how many of the co-workers I work with and clients I do FSL or FS migrations for don't understand share/ntfs permissions lol.
Nice you showed this with authenticated users vs everyone

This channel became one of my favorites keep the coming Dean!

Wow.. Really good content in this video! Perfectly timely as I was just running into the AD auth settings. Looking forward to the Storage video!

I'm sorry, but have you tried the difference between outlook in online mode and offline mode? Thinking it's just as fast running it in online mode in AVD is simply not true. While its definately faster in AVD than on-prem, it's still snail slow compared to a file backed cahed mode outlook. So the whole point about the office container being a mistake, is really not valid, not to mention you don't really mention any benefits to not using it? While having it makes cleaning up and resetting user profile more versatile/faster/better.

Have fast disk performance is key on making VDI /AVD work. It doesn’t matter how many cpus And how much memory you have if you have a subpar disk IO.

[kmajors]

Great content! Very timely as well. Thanks

Thank you for the video Dean and starting the discussion. Avoiding unnecessary high Azure backup costs can be a good reason to use ODFC so we can separate the Office cache from the User profile containers. Correct?

[matthewsmith]

Great channel! Any update on the deep dive on storage you mention at 4:20?

[lerzmonkey]

You can reduce the white space usage the disk mounted will still be the same size but the file in azure storage is less

[fonkwyl]

Thank you Dean for providing the valuable info. I have setup the FSLogix with Active directory integration with File Share Azure Storage account. I'm facing the profile size of vhdx size increasing day by day. Kindly advise on fix required.

[lxranes]

Great vid as usual! I have one question on the exceptions path part. I noticed that in the screenshots you showed the “value” being the path to exclude, while we’ve got the “value name” as the path and the value set to zero? Should we have it reversed where the value is the path and value name is something random? Thanks!

Office Data Filtering Catalog apparently..

I have to disagree with setting your Premium Files share to the maximum from the start. Billing for Premium Files is based on provisioned size. It will take your users quite a while to reach the 30GB limit of their profile size, if they ever get there at all. Meanwhile you're paying for unused capacity and, it's not cheap. Premium File share provisioned size can be increased and decreased after the fact, and increasing the size can even be done automatically as demand increases.

hello dean one que like we have an avd env which a pooled one and setup fs logix the problem here is first time the fs logix profile got created and when we disconnected from our session it is giving us the fs logix errpr as network path not found

[jlou]

Great video ! So many issues about FSLogix misconfigurations.
Same with you about Premium File Share best practice.
One question about redirection : the excluded folders will only be hosted on the AVD Host, right ?
Therefore they will disappeared as soon the user log off, right ?

[xDavidxG]

Hello Dean,
Thank you for this video. Regarding the last part for the Antivirus exclusions, we are already doing this with a third party AV (SentinelOne). I noticed on the screenshare you also added it on the GPO for Defender. Is that only necessary in the instances that you are using Defender Endpoint as the primary AV, or should we make sure to put that in place regardless if there is a third party AV in place ?

[jamiebarbery]

Is cached mode policy setting still required/recommended when not using O365 containers in AVD? Migrating from RDS Farm to AVD and curious if online mode will perform well with only Profile containers and without cache mode enabled for X amount of time. Thank you sir!

[oainwr]

Why would you allow using OST on terminal servers? Save the space by turning it off.

[otakuguild]

Hello, In the Defender Exclusion you said your profile wont be scanned during sign in, that means once user is logged in defender will start scanning. We are not stopping the defender permanently correct? What if user is using 3rd party tools for endpoint protection?

[anwaralwaki]

Danke sehr, How can we set the ost file with fslogix. What is the best image to set it? User profiles fill up quickly
