One of my clients requires to have Onedrive for Business in a View environment with linked clones. I read about the Onedrive for Business sync client and apparently you can not specify/change the location of the download location. The customer demands that the Onedrive for Business client is installed and will sync/download the content from Onedrive, but in a linked clone environment this might mean that the sync client will download all content of Onedrive each time a user logs on to a dekstop, which we obviously do not want. I told the customer that he potentially will have to store 1 TB of data per user in his datacenter, meaning he will need a lot of SAN space, but the customer does not care about this. Does anybody have any experience with the Onedrive for business sync client in a Linked clone View environment and how to best set this up?

In theory that should work. But having the VDIs on the same datastore as your appstacks is against best practices because your IOPS pattern is clearly different. Also this requires you to have copies of your appstacks on all of the VDI datastores, which is a waste of space. VMware should come up with a more intelligent and flexible way of creating, distributing and assigning appstacks.

With Storage Groups, I am able to replicate all appstacks from the central datacenter to the remote datacenters. This however does not give me the flexibility to have some appstacks only available in a remote datacenter. When I assign an appstack to a Virtual Machine located in a remote datacenter, how can I control from which datastore(s) App Volumes will take the appstack and attach it to the Virtual Machine. I want to be able to tell App Volumes to attach the appstack from a datastore which is local to the Virtual Machine.
Yes, that works. Thanks. I was probably misinterpreting the word "replication". Its actually more a "synchronisation" The documentation is not really clear on that.

Did anybody already implemented App Volumes storage groups? I set up a storage group with the following settings: Automation: "Automatic Import Appstacks" and "Automatic Replicate Appstacks" enabled Distribution Strategy: left default to "spread" as this only applies to writable volumes according to the documentation and I am not using writable volumes Template Storage: I choose here the LUN where my appstacks are located Storage Selection: Direct Storage: I selected here the LUN I want my appstacks to be replicated to but nothing seems to be happening. Am I doing something wrong?

I installed App Volumes 2.7 servers and have a Windows 7 machine containing the App volumes 2.7 Agent that I use to create appstacks. When I however look in the details of the appstacks I create I see "Versions: 2.7.0.816U (agent), 2.6.0.0 (capture)". Is this a bug?

I have a setup with a central vCenter and multiple physical datacenters connected to that central vCenter. Each physical datacenter is configured as a virtual datacenter within this central vCenter. My App Volumes servers are located in the central datacenter. When I configure the default storage location for App Volumes I see all the datastores that my vCenter sees and can choose one of them to be the default storage location. However, when I create an appstack, I can only choose between the datastores located in the same datacenter as the datastores chosen for the default storage location. I actually want to create an appstack located on a datastore in a remote datacenter from my central app volumes infrastructure. How would I best accomplish this?

Can you use MAK keys in Office Appstacks? cscript ospp.vbs /inputkey:YOUROFFICEMACKEY cscript ospp.vbs /act The documentation says "VMware App Volumes supports KMS based licensing for Office", but it does not say it is mandatory.
