Azure WVD profile reset

Scott Livesey 1

We have an Azure WVD host pool (5 hosts) and are using fxlogix for profile management. We have a need to reset a large number of user profiles so that a OneDrive FOD policy takes place. Where do I look to find the individual users' profiles and what is the method for safely deleting them so the users get a new profile upon next login?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

If you use FSLogix you should have configured a storage where you store the profiles such as an Azure File Share, is not ?
Check if the user is not connected and delete the folder of the user in your FSLogix shared storage.

You can automatize this process using a script with Azure Function, triggered at the frequency you want :

Check if the user is connected to the WVD workspace
If not, delete the user's FSLogix folder in the shared storage.

Next login the user will have a new profile with a new VHD.

Can you elaborate on this? Any specifics or details on how to set up the check and delete process would be greatly helpful.

If this is a one-time operation, it will be easier to configure a maintenance window during off hours and delete all profiles once you have verified that there are no active connections. If you have properly configured the users for auto-creation, their new profiles will be created on their next login with the new policy.

I would test the profile deletion with a test account to make sure that needed information will not be removed from the accounts.
