1. Re: Windows 10 1803 and Persona
Viperman Oct 28, 2018 2:57 PM (in response to MuFunk)Spent a ton of time on the phone with VMware technical support. We are running 7.5 with vsphere 6.7 and persona. We just went to 1709 because 1803 is supported with persona even though 1803 is supported with 7.5. Also the big problem that we had was the 7.5 agent wouldn't work. So we had to use the 7.3.2 agent to get everything to work. Their big solution was just to upgrade to UEM.

gpapacharalampous Nov 7, 2018 7:27 AM (in response to Viperman)The same here.
As i saw on win10 1803 does not support not even roaming profiles.
I try all the versions of agents for persona and nothing worked.
So we stay on win10 1709 for now.
Vmware suggested UEM.
I think they try to stop persona management but they never announce it officially.
This is bad for the companies, UEm does not copy Appdata and personal files of the users, sop the "roaming profile" experience will be totally different.
So big change with no formal anouncement.

nettech1 Nov 10, 2018 1:04 PM (in response to MuFunk)Persona is broken in 7.5 agent, but if you downgrade to 7.4 agent on WIndows LTSB 1607 build, it's syncing without any issues
Here is an unofficial 7.5 that has not been released to the public yet. It's supposed to have persona syncing issue resolved.. Feel free to use in your test environment ONLY

prince55241000 Dec 19, 2018 11:53 AM (in response to stpeine)The persona issue is fixed in view version 7.7, you can install the view gent version 7.7 in the machine and then check it.

6. Re: Windows 10 1803 and Persona
stpeine Jan 17, 2019 4:27 AM (in response to prince55241000)hello,
I have installed the view agent 7.7.0 on win10 1803.
The persona management problematic remains.
No sync with the .V6 Profile. The "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider" service is started.
The Connection server is 7.5.1. The GPO Bundle is currently from 7.7.0
does anyone have the same problem or any idea?

7. Re: Windows 10 1803 and Persona
Viperman Jan 17, 2019 7:40 AM (in response to stpeine)I believe that I used the 7.3 version of the agent with 7.6 and it worked fine. Very frustrating. They want to push you to UEM, which is fine, but my customer was running standard edition with linked clones. and persona.

8. Re: Windows 10 1803 and Persona
stpeine Jan 18, 2019 3:41 AM (in response to Viperman)if a user logs on to the golden-master image and then later with this account on the vdi-clone the profile works fine.
All new users receive an empty V6 profile. Yes, this is very frustrating. we have also the standard edition and the pools are "linked-clones".
When I logout I see two folders in the V6 profile.
in the hidden folder is a text file withe the hostname from the VM. The other one with the GUID is the profile folder. When the logoff process is completed, the folders are deleted.

gpapacharalampous Feb 4, 2019 7:13 AM (in response to stpeine)Exactly the same finding I have since the beginning with 7.5.1 agent.
Creates the main profile folder, but never populate it after logoff.
Very frustrating...

matttL Feb 11, 2019 8:43 AM (in response to gpapacharalampous)I had the same problem when "Roam local settings folders" was enabled. The .V6 profile would never copy over to the share.
In the VMWVvp.txt log I noticed it keep on failing during the upload.

This can be fixed by removing the “WindowsApps” folder from the default profile on the golden image. Another option is to enable the “File and folders excluded from roaming” and use “Appdata\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps” path.
I removed the “WindowsApps” from the default profile and the profiles are syncing properly. I’m currently using Windows 10 1809 and View Horizon 7.7 with 7.7 agent. I hope this information can be some use to you.

ssbit Feb 11, 2019 10:40 AM (in response to matttL)This worked for me! Awesome find! I was doing some folder redirection testing and that worked except for local settings so i figured it was related to that. Thank you!
