      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi - we are having some users randomly in the morning when they log in not having their DEM kick in . Backgounds are missing..etc.&amp;nbsp; Support told us it could be a Group Policy Issue .&amp;nbsp; The Appstacks are there... just seems DEM is not engaged - desktop icons / shortcuts gone..etc. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We Are using :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;instant Clones / DEM / App Stacks / Win 10 LTSB / Horizon 7.6&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are currently setting all the DEM jazz via Group Policies. This works somewhat well .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We however randomly get a user that logs in during the morning and DEM doesnt appear to be working.. ie Shortcuts on desktop gone..etc.&amp;nbsp; No redirect.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They reboot once and all is well for rest of day . Doesnt appear to happen every day.. and not to the same users when it does.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We DO use Loopbacks a ton in our GPO's.. never been a problem.. we are trying to del unnecessary GPO's.. and consolidate small common ones .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Is there Any way to place the DEM Server File Locations on the Gold Image ?... so it bypasses GP for these ?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can i place them in the local group policy of the GI w/ no issues ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think i read a KB that said if you needed to apply a GPO that required a reboot ( this one doesnt obviously ) - that one could put the GI in the OU and run gpupdate on it ?... that didnt make much sense.. we dont usually add our GI's onto the Domain..etc.&amp;nbsp; Should we ?.. personal pref it sounds like ??&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Getting Group Policies to apply using Win 10 and Instant clones..seems difficult without having to do a reboot.. at least for us .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;we Do have the "Always wait for network at computer startup and logon"&amp;nbsp; engaged as well of course .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thank you .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Look at&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Dynamic-Environment-Manager/9.8/com.vmware.user.environment.manager-install-config/GUID-A5B06DBA-8E3A-4945-AB3C-91F85FA7BEDF.html" title="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Dynamic-Environment-Manager/9.8/com.vmware.user.environment.manager-install-config/GUID-A5B06DBA-8E3A-4945-AB3C-91F85FA7BEDF.html"&gt;Installing and Configuring FlexEngine in NoAD Mode&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I currently have almost no gpos on our desktops now, and I think it works better. Instead of gpos you point the agent to an xml file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
