UEM and writable volumes(UIA+profile)

Hi all,

we're currently trying to migrate to App Volumes + UEM with Horizon 7.1 instant clones. UEM is configured to capture user profile and data to a file share. We have a lot of issues with applications settings not being captured. Using UEM profiling to pre-configure the applications is very tedious. We're considering adding a writable volume+profile template in the mix to capture things that UEM does not capture, however someone mentioned that it's not supported?

Have anyone had any success using writable volumes (UIA+profile) with UEM? Any caveats going this route?

Thanks!

Hi @vmsysadmin201110141,

What kind of issues are you experiencing? Do you believe you're missing profile settings for applications that are configured/profiled? Are you using the UEM Application Profiler --> http://pubs.vmware.com/uem-91/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/user-environment-manager91-app-profiler.pd... ?

You can also have a look at some existing profile templates created by VMware and the community --> VMware User Environment Manager .

Just curious to hear what the exact issues are and if there's anything I can help you with.

I use App Volumes and UEM successfully at various customers. The whole idea of using UEM is to have flexibility and speed for your users by managing the profile (settings). I do agree that it takes time to profile all the necessary application/environment settings, but see it as an investment that results in happy users having speedy logons/logoffs.

I am not sure about the question regarding writable volumes and if it is supported.
