Snapshots

[TSharp]

Is there a way to automatically revert to a snapshot when a user logs off of a VDI session? I have a non-persistant pool that I don't want anyone to have personal information stored on for the next person that may log into it.

Thanks,

Travis

What are these users using the VDIs for?

You can have VDM delete the VM when they are finished with it and deploy a fresh VM to the pool. Not sure if that would accomplish what you're trying to do ...

Hi

Yes there is. Three possible way's of the top of my head.

1) You can set it up to delete the VM on logout - prefered.

2) Set a policy to remove the cached user profile and setup strict rights to the file system so only the users profile is used - complex and time consuming to do.

3) Make the VM disk nonpersistant and shutdown on logout - this one has some issues the Machine NT account password must not be allowed to change.

THANKS! #3 did exactly what I was looking for!

Further to the previous poster, this might be useful:

If you don't implement this and use non-persistent disks, the VM will fall off the domain after a password change occurs and is discarded.
