Persona slow login in 7.1+

Hi.

Horizon View 7.2, linked-clones with persistent disks.

Persona - copying profile(including AppData\Local setting via gpo) to the network share. 10 minute interval.

We use Personas to copy user data to a backup server. Since upgrading from Horizon View 7.0.2 to 7.2 I noticed logon time being 3-4 times larger on VMs with Horizon Agent 7.2.0 installed.

Since audit information is turned on during logon, the most time was used by VMWVvp(VMware Horizon View Persona Management). The same task on 7.0.2 takes 20 seconds, while on 7.2 it takes 60-90 seconds. Thr whole profile loading

I then tried installing standalone Persona Management 7.1,7.2 and 7.3. All of them had the same problem. Even without Horizon Agent(and new Logon Monitor service) being present.

VMWVvp.txt log-files aren't especially different except one is taking longer time to accomplish the same tasks(VMWSetDirEa).

Could anyone offer advice on how to proceed in solving this? It seems I would need to continue 7.0.2 agent with 7.2 Connection Server otherwise. Haven't tried 7.0.3, though.

Logon started at 14:13:52. I'm not sure why Logon Monitor shows actual log starting at 14:15:21. For all I know at 14:15:20 Persona Management finished its operation.

Windows Event Viewer shows Winlogon 6006 event at 14:15:21 that it wasted 86 seconds to process notification from VMWVvpsvc.

Yeah, GPP is taking its time, but it's not the initial Persona Logon. The actual was 2,5 minutes, as is seen in vmlm.txt.

was the desktop only just created when logging on? it might be smart to log a call for this.

While it was created today, I logged on and off it through the day with this log being the last logon. Disk was persistent with already created profile days ago.
