    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We're building up a new environment with Horizon 8 and DEM 2111 these days. We are running Horizon 7.x and DEM 9.10 in production today.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since we are building up a new environment, i want to check out if we can create a more efficient environment for our users, fast logons without tons of queries during logon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When we got help with the installation back in the days, the consultant just created only one Environment in DEM(back then UEM).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="lansti_2-1645430943119.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93737i939A16051D8B6297/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="lansti_2-1645430943119.png" alt="lansti_2-1645430943119.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I see that makes a lot of queries during logon, since every user that logs on, need to check, "do i need this? do i need that..."&lt;BR /&gt;The login-logs has a couple of thousand lines written during each login, because there are tons of shortcuts, logon tasks, printer mappings, registry setting and so on each user will be checked against.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, now, when I'm working on a new server, i want to see if we can do this more effectively for end users. By dividing the environment into eg departments:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="lansti_1-1645430894626.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93736i0568EA6F744ABE91/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="lansti_1-1645430894626.png" alt="lansti_1-1645430894626.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is it also possible to create a "Master environment" with a few policies that will cover all users, and have the environments you see above here as sub-environments? That would be best, but as far as i can see, the GPO are only supporting one config:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="lansti_3-1645431033925.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93738iE2E53A1DA019311D/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="lansti_3-1645431033925.png" alt="lansti_3-1645431033925.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We currently have our users divided into 2 OUs in Active Directory, based on their locations. I was also thinking about creating some Security groups for each department, and deploy the GPO to users with these.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="lansti_0-1645430837301.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93735i94B9E2039C46ED86/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="lansti_0-1645430837301.png" alt="lansti_0-1645430837301.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How are you guys doing this, and what are your experiences?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards&lt;/P&gt;</description>
