DFSR architecture to support UEM

I'm looking at a greenfield, two-site, Horizon 7, Cloud Pod Architecture, UEM, and App Volumes deployment.  I'm familiar with the Horizon 7 Multi-site Reference Architecture white paper, as well.

  • It sounds like the UEM IT config share only supports DFS Hub and Spoke architecture, not full mesh. Is that correct?
  • I understand the problem with using Active / Active UEM profile shares across sites.  But if I use the Desktop Pool setting, "Allow user to initiate separate sessions from different client devices" and set it to "No," the problem is negated, right? And if that's the case, then I can use Active / Active UEM profile shares, right?
  • In addition, since I'm using the Cloud Pod Architecture, I can configure home sites, which only allows a user to get a desktop at a specified site unless configured to do otherwise. Basically, I can "guarantee" that a user will not run into the Active / Active DFS Replication conflict resolution issue. Do you think this is supported or a good idea? I'm not trying to do anything fancy, but I like the idea of a simple DFS architecture while still staying true to the caveats called out in the reference architecture white paper.
  • What are some multi-site DFS architectures that folks are actually using today? I'm leaning towards 2 DFS nodes at each site in a Windows Failover Cluster to eliminate any single point of failure, but I'd love to eliminate complexity where I can.  I simple two-node DFS-R setup across sites would be great if I could get away with it.

All the best!

Mike
