5.1 Persona Management profile folder created with locked down permissions

We have a VMware View 5.1 environment and are testing an implementation of Persona Management. When a user logs in for the first time and the profile folder is created, that user is the owner and no other access exists without an admin taking ownership of the folder.


This issue has been addressed with a new ViewPM.adm GPO in version 5.3.


My simple question is this: Would it be possible to just pull this new GPO from 5.3 and implement it in our 5.1 environment?

Hi,

You used the words "profile folder" in your question, but are asking about a change to the product that is for redirected folders only.  If you want admins to have access to the profile folder, please use the Microsoft GPO setting that does this.  Otherwise, you would need to update to 5.3 or later to get this feature for folder redirection.  The admin template just provides the configuration interface that enables the product code that implements the change.  If you choose to update to a newer version of Persona, I would suggest you bypass 5.3 and go to 6.0 or later to pick up more bug fixes and a more stable build.

Thanks,

Erik
