Hello @Automatt1c , So Teams WAS auto-logging in when I logged into a new virtual/Horizon desktop.  About 2 weeks it started prompting me again to enter my password and nothing changed (that I know of). UGH....

HI @DEMdev , I believe I found it.  I logged in as a test user and set my default browser to Chrome.  I looked at the default applications.xml file for that user and the default browser settings is indeed there.  Now....how do I get THAT setting established for each user?  Where do I put this edited Default Applications.xml file?  You mentioned putting as part of a predefined setting and just drop it into the Registry folder. I did create a predefined setting - I have attached a screen shot of my setting in UEM. But am not sure where to find the REGISTRY folder...

Hello @DEMdev , I guess I am not exactly sure what this statement means and how to accomplish it "You can now use this edited Default Applications.xml file as part of a predefined setting or a Files and Folders setting; just drop it into the Registry folder." What Registry folder?  Where is it located?? Is there one for EACH user or on single one? Thanks!

HI @GTO455 , Well, that is what I found as well; Teams profile in DEM doesn't work that great. However, I do not have a large profile, it just consistently asks me to enter my password when I grab a new desktop. FSLogix worked beautifully however my FSLogix files are 30+ GB for each person.  How large are yours?  Is there a way to shrink that and minimize the amount of "stuff" being saved?

@GTO455 , This is great!  Thank you for the registry entries - I had heard about them but did not know what they were specifically.  i will give them a try.  I had setup FSLogix and honestly that worked GREAT with Teams not prompting for a login EVERYTIME a user grabs a new Horizon desktop.  My problem is we have about 600+ users in Horizon and the FSLogix profile for one user was at least 3 GB which is not really an option for us.  Is there any way to shrink that file so not as much "stuff" (for lack of a better word) is being saved to it?  Kind of like what can be done with application configuration in UEM? UPDATE: I just checked my registry and discovered the registry keys ARE indeed in there so that is clearly not working for me.

@Automatt1c , I am finally getting around to trying your whole configuration.  I added everything including the lines below; the lines below showed as RED.   [Metadata] DirectFlexPath=*%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe [DeleteFiles] <LocalAppData>\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin <LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Teams <AppData>\Microsoft\Teams\Service Worker\CacheStorage [Immidio Flex] This file was created using VMware DEM Management Console version 9.11.0.932. Use only with VMware DEM. Why would these lines show up in RED?  I am guessing because those "commands" are not available in my DEM...?? UPDATE: So I saved the UEM configuration with the entries you had except for the ones above (since they showed up in RED) and I am still being prompted to login to Teams each time a login to a Horizon desktop.  Something with my setup is clearly not the same as your setup.

HI @DEMdev , I guess what I meant was under AppData I only have Local, Roaming and LocalLow.  Some of the directories listed in @Automatt1c 's UEM config for Teams lists directories at the root of appdata, not inside any of the 3 directories listed above.  Maybe I am misunderstanding what is being written in the posts.

Hello @Automatt1c, I have Teams autostarting for everyone but NOT auto logging in?  Does Teams Auto-login for your users?  If so, what did you set to get it that way? Also, I do not have any of the AppData directories on the desktop that you listed below.  Mine are all in with AppData\Local or AppData\Roaming. Thank you. 

How do we SHRINK the Profile container VHD file? I am using FSLogix and like what I am seeing (login times are really great) but having a 3+ GB VHD container for 500+ users is not an option for our organization.  HELP!   

Hi @Lieven, Latest update: I logged into a Horizon desktop today without Office or Profile container files (office.vhd or profile.vhd) and with the redirections.xml file (below) in the profile container share.  Here is what happened: 1) 1st login creates a profile.vhd and office.vhd file 2) Teams started but needed to login (which is normal). Username was already there just needed to click Sign in and then type in my password 3) No errors 4) Logged out of the desktop 5) Logged in to a desktop again. Received an error message on the screen: "We can't sign into your account" with the options to Sign Out (which logs me off the desktop) or Cancel (see attached file) 6) Teams did NOT auto launch this time What is in my redirections.xml fie that is causing this error and preventing Teams from auto launching??  I am not familiar with this file and need some help interpreting what is happening with this file. If I remove the redirections.xml file from my share on the server and delete my profile and office container file, Teams launches fine however those two files are VERY LARGE. Here is what I have in my redirections.xml file: <?xml version=”1.0? encoding=”UTF-8??> <FrxProfileFolderRedirection ExcludeCommonFolders=”###VALUE###”> <Excludes> <Exclude Copy="0">$Recycle.Bin</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Google</Exclude> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\SquirrelTemp</Exclude>--> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\OneDrive\cache</Exclude>--> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\16.0\cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Microsoft\Teams\Cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Microsoft\Teams\Service Worker\CacheStorage</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData>\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData>\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\media-stack</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData>\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\meeting-addin\Cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData>\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData>\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Temp</Exclude> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\SolutionPackages</Exclude>--> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync\Tracing</Exclude> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Current\Locales</Exclude>--> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Packages\SquirrelTemp</Exclude>--> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\resources\locales</Exclude>--> <!--<Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Apps\2.0</Exclude>--> </Excludes> </FrxProfileFolderRedirection>

Hi @Lieven, So I was able to discover the redirections.xml file lives in the fslogix profile share and have added that there.  Additionally, I added the RedirXMLSourceFolder entry to the registry.  I included the lines you had listed in this post in my redirections.xml file (displayed below) and apparently something in there is preventing Teams from auto launching. <?xml version=”1.0? encoding=”UTF-8??> <FrxProfileFolderRedirection ExcludeCommonFolders=”###VALUE###”> <Excludes> <Exclude Copy="0">$Recycle.Bin</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Google</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\SquirrelTemp</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\OneDrive\cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\16.0\cache</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\SolutionPackages</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync\Tracing</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Current\Locales</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Packages\SquirrelTemp</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\resources\locales</Exclude> <Exclude Copy="0">AppData\Local\Apps\2.0</Exclude> </Excludes> </FrxProfileFolderRedirection> If I want to prevent a line from "running" in the redirections.xml file, how do I do that? Thank you!  

Hi @Lieven, So I did not have the registry entries for the Profile container just the office container so now I have the local_username folder and also see the FSLogix folder in my AppData\Local folder. Now back to the redirections.xml file... 1) Location The redirections.xml file resides in the profile container in the <ProfileRoot>\AppData\Local\FSLogix folder. So this would appear on my horizon desktop, correct? 2) Distribution The admin can use the built-in distribution capabilities of the FSLogix agent, or any other mechanism, to place the file into the profile container. To use the built-in copy mechanism, use the RedirXMLSourceFolder setting. I am guessing this is another registry entry...? If so, is it under FSLogix\profile section? Reading about the RedirXMLSourceFolder registry entry..it looks like that points to a server\share and gets copied from there to te local profile.  So is that Server\share the same one I setup for FSLogix Office and Profie containers?  Would it be placed in the Profile Container/share?

Hi @Lieven I must have done something wrong or did not install all the parts.  I do not see this at all on my Horizon deskop: local_ Folder When a user signs in and a FSLogix Profile container is connected and used by that user, you will see two additional folders in the C:\Users directory: A \<username> folder (or some variation) A local_<username> folder Additionally, I do not see an FSLogix folder in my AppDate\Local folder on my desktop (Location The redirections.xml file resides in the profile container in the <ProfileRoot>\AppData\Local\FSLogix folder) I also checked my shares and only have the LARGE ODFC file under my Office share.  There is nothing under my Profile share on my server. What did I miss?

Hi @Lieven, 1) I did in fact install Teams using that command (msiexec /i Teams_Windows_x64.msi /lv C:\Windows\Temp\Teams_install.log ALLUSER=1 ALLUSERS=1 /qb /norestart)  however I did not use the /qb and /restart commands.  Will that make a difference? 2) I  do not have that entry in the registry of my image.  I only have this one: TeamsMachineInstaller  REG_EXPAND_SZ %ProgramFiles%\Teams Installer\Teams.exe --checkinstall--source=PROPLUS. 3) Where do I find the rediretions.xml file? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi @Lieven  OK so here is what I did. 1) Installed FSLogix Apps on my image 2) Created a share on my server for the FSLogix Office share 3) Setup and configured Office Container to redirect Teams (at this point) on my image 4) Disabled Teams Config in UEM Created a snapshot and republished to my desktop.  Logged in the first time to the desktop and was prompted to enter my credentials in Teams (Username was already filled in, clicked Continue and typed in pasword). Teams started ok. Logged out of my desktop, waited a few minutes for it to delete and then logged in again.  This teams did NOT autostart which we want it to.  When I double clicked on the Teams icon on the desktop, I was prompted to enter my password. So no change with Teams except now I am back to square one - Teams doesn't autostart.  I am sure I missed something.
