Persona Issue on Horizon 7.9

Hi,

We have a Horizon 7.9 environment having Windows 7 and Windows 10 desktops. Persona is enabled and some of the users complain that after a reboot, they are losing their apps and data. It creates a temporary profile named <username>.<domain name>. E. g. user1.vmware. This is seen on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 environments intermittently.

Highlighting some of the errors in the log. Is the first one the culprit? This GPO is disabled in our environment, but Admin has full access on the share.

Attaching Persona logs if you wish to take a look.

Does anyone know what could be the issue?

I looked at the log and saw that this is the cause of your profile. [0][04/03/2020 11:11:18:0276][RTOProcessLogon          ] Failed Creating Roaming Profile Directory, Cannot Continue: User: POP\tom.sullivan, Session 1, Path: \\pop.local\_Asiapac\Users\tom.sullivan.V2, 0x80070005 The error code means that Persona doesn't have access permission to create that folder. Check permissions setting of your repository.

Thanks Henky.

The line just above that says:

<85C>[0][04/03/2020 11:11:18:0262][VMWCheckAddAdminGPO       ] Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles GPO: DISABLED

[0][04/03/2020 11:11:18:0276][RTOProcessLogon          ] Failed Creating Roaming Profile Directory, Cannot Continue: User: POP\tom.sullivan, Session 1, Path: \\pop.local\_Asiapac\Users\tom.sullivan.V2, 0x80070005

So is enabling "Add admin security groups to roaming profiles" a mandatory step and that could be a reason for this failure?

I think it's telling you that you did not add the administrators group the the GPO.

Administrative Templates> System> User Profiles

     Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles - enabled
