00:00:00 – 00:16:06
The video discusses common mistakes and best practices related to FSLogics and user profile management. Key points include avoiding unnecessary use of the Office Data File Container in Azure Virtual Desktop, correctly configuring storage permissions, setting up account access control for an SMB share, adjusting profile container sizes, and optimizing folder exclusions for app data directories. Emphasis is placed on proper configuration, storage options like Azure Files and NetApp Files, managing redirections to avoid profile space bloat, and excluding specific folders for optimization. The importance of anti-virus exclusions for performance and careful consideration when making changes is highlighted.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses three common mistakes related to FS Logics. The first mistake is the misuse of the Office Data File Container (ODFC) in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments. ODFC was originally created to improve Outlook performance in an on-premises setup and is unnecessary in AVD since it is already in the cloud. The speaker advises against using ODFC in AVD due to its outdated purpose and redundancy with cloud-based applications like Office. The second mistake is highlighted as using the ODFC container unnecessarily, as most office data is already cached in the user profile. The speaker recommends only using ODFC in specific circumstances, such as when you need to separate user documents from Office cache data for backup and protection purposes.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on managing user profiles with containers and avoiding common mistakes in storage settings for FSLogix. The steps for disabling the Office 365 container are outlined, emphasizing the need to test and verify the changes before permanently deleting the container. The importance of correctly configuring storage permissions and options, such as NetApp files and Azure files, is highlighted to ensure a smooth authentication process. The video mentions upcoming detailed content on storage permissions, providing a brief overview of supported solutions and their setup procedures.

In this segment of the video, the key actions focus on setting up account access control for an SMB share. The first step is to add two roles: SMB Share Elevated Contributor (admin role) and SMB Share Contributor (if necessary). NTFS permissions are then set by copying a script in PowerShell ISE, editing security settings, and granting appropriate permissions to the user groups. Best practices for profile container settings are also discussed, with the default size being 30 gigabytes, and using VHDX format recommended for dynamic growth up to 64 terabytes. The segment emphasizes setting up permissions for user profiles on the share without affecting sign-in performance.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses adjusting the size of profile containers, the importance of selecting the right Azure Files SKU (Standard vs. Premium), and considerations for Azure NetApp Files. They advise keeping things simple, recommending a three terabyte share for 100 users, emphasizing the need for guaranteed performance in production workloads. Additionally, they caution against overcomplicating configurations and stress the importance of managing redirections to avoid profile space bloat. The speaker also highlights not using the odfc container in Azure Virtual Desktop and recommends separating profile containers from other storage workloads for ease of management and data protection.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of excluding specific folders in app data directories for optimization. It is advised to only exclude folders that are well-documented by the vendor or understood thoroughly. The transcript explains the concept of combining numbers to exclude multiple folders efficiently. Mention is made of the common folders to exclude, such as contacts, links, and music. The speaker also touches upon the impact of redirections on IO overhead and points out key folders like Edge, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams that can benefit from redirections to save space. The process of creating an XML file with redirection settings and configuring it on a file share for users to access is outlined, emphasizing the careful consideration needed when making changes outside of documented practices.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how to effectively set up FSLogix. The main points covered include editing the XML file to remove entries and disabling policies after users have logged in, noting the importance of anti-virus exclusions to avoid performance issues during a logon storm. It is emphasized that adding exclusions to antivirus software for profile containers is crucial. Additionally, viewers are encouraged to watch another video on FSLogix storage permissions for further learning.
