Can't logon to Horizon View Desktop with Persistent Disk User Profile

I setup a new desktop pool in Horizon 6. This will be used for supervisor level staff that need their same desktops each time they login. The pool is set for linked-clones, but with persistent disks for user profiles. I set the user profile to be stored on a persistent disk in the Horizon wizard. The persistent drive is set to be the users "Z" drive.

When I try to login with one of the entitled, accounts, windows gives me this error:

The user profile service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded.

Is there something I need to change in Active Directory / Group policy? I've never dealt with persistent disk systems before. The VM OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.

It just seems like the profile doesn't know that it's supposed to be created on the peristent drive when I try to login.

I found out that I actually had the following GPO's being applied at the computer level that were keeping the drive from being accessible.

System/Removable Storage Access

All Removable Storage: Allow direct access in remote sessionsDisabled
CD and DVD: Deny execute accessEnabled

i presume there is no policy for network drive mapping or printer or scanner mapping and you are not using z drive in cd rom or any other devices.

can you recreate pool with persistent disk like D or F, which is commonly used and disposable drive with different letter. before deploying login to base image and check once in disk management used drive letter and then assign according to available one.

Believe,
