Hi. I have UPD for terminal farm. UPD have more bugs. Give me pls tutorial, migrate user profile disk to fslogix and how setup fslogix

HI

1. UPD use .vhdx virtual disk and fslogix use .vhd virtual disk, so we can't migrate from UPD to fslogix directly.

I think we can build a test collection and add one existed session host server from production collection to it(if there is only on session host server in production collection, I think we can build a new RDsession host VM then add this session host server to test collection), then add UPD for this test collection and let test domain user use it. Finally, we can test migration process.

I think migrating user profile disk to fslogix profile like below:
(1)Log off all domain users sessions on RD session host servers.

(2)Don't allow all domain users remote access session host server again.

(3)Disable UPD for your RDsession host on RDCB server first, then configure fslogix for your RD session host servers

(4)End domain users logon the RDsession host servers and using Fslogix profile

(5)Set end domain user access permission for their vhdx files of UPD.

(6)Attach the .vhdx virtual disk to each user session and copy the content of UPD virtual disk to Fslogix virtual disk by each user themselves.

This is not true. FSLogix has the option to use VHD or VHDX even at the time of this post.

Pre-requesites

AD Powershell Modules

Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell

Migrate UPD VHDs to FSLogix VHDs

• Copy User Profile Disks VHDs to new folder and share folder e.g to \fileserver01\uvhd_profiles
• Create new folder and share folder e.g. at \fileserver01\fslogix_profiles
• Adjust variables in Convert-UPDtoFSLogix.ps1 set $updroot = "\fileserver01\uvhd_profiles"
  set $fslogixroot = "\fileserver01\fslogix_profiles"
  set $errorlogfolder = "\fileserver01\uvhd_profiles"
• Run Convert-UPDtoFSLogix.ps1 in ISE as Administrator

Disable User Profile Disks on all RDSH

Use Server Manager to disable User Profile Disks on all RDSH.

Or use powershell

Example:

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "Session Collection 02" -DisableUserProfileDisk -ConnectionBroker "RDCB.Contoso.com"

Install and Configure FSLogix

Download and install FSLogix

Configure FSLogix on all RDSH

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"VHDLocations"="\\fileserver01\fslogix_profiles"
"VolumeType"="VHDX"
"SizeInMBs"=dword:00000c00
"IsDynamic"=dword:00000001
"LockedRetryCount"=dword:00000018
"LockedRetryInterval"=dword:00000006

Optional – Convert VHD to VHDX

Pre-Requesites

Check exisiting

Get-WindowsFeature *hyper-v*

Hyper-V-Powershell

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-PowerShell

Convert VHD to VHDX

Convert-VHD TestVHD.vhd -VHDFormat VHDX -DestinationPath C:\temp\VHDs\TestVHDX.vhdx -DeleteSource

HI 47451047,

There is another document for your reference. I think that we need to do more testing on session host server of our testing collection.
