Profile Management

Improve user logon performance

March 14, 2023

Profile Management provides various policies to improve user logon performance. Examples include the Streamed user profiles, Accelerate folder mirroring, and Profile container policies. These policies are helpful in scenarios where user profiles keep growing with daily use.

This section provides two Profile Management solutions that let you improve user logon performance.

Enable streamed profiles and accelerate folder mirroring

After deploying the user store in your environment, enable the following policies to improve user logon performance:

Go to Profile Management > Streamed user profiles, and then enable Profile streaming and Enable profile streaming for folders.
Go to Profile Management > File system, and then enable Accelerate folder mirroring.

Enable the profile container for the full profile

You can deploy the VHDX-based Citrix profile solution (called profile container) to improve logon performance. Those VHDX files are dynamically attached on user logons. To deploy the VHDX-based solution, enable the profile container to store the full user profile as follows:

Go to Profile Management > Profile container settings.
Enable Profile container and enter an asterisk (*) to the profile container list.

Performance comparisons

We recommend the preceding solutions based on our tests with a typical user profile. For more information, see Knowledge Center article CTX463658. As shown in the following tables, user logon and logoff times dropped significantly after we deployed either solution.

Test results of enabling the Streamed user profiles and Accelerating folder mirroring policies:

Parameters	Before	After
Logon time / Total logon time	53.81 s / 56.48 s	1.80 s / 4.45 s
Logoff time / Total logoff time	42.49 s / 43.67 s	5.62 s / 6.89 s

Test results of enabling the Profile container policy for the full profile:

Parameters	Before	After
Logon time / Total logon time	53.81 s / 56.48 s	2.66 s / 5.26 s
Logoff time / Total logoff time	42.49 s / 43.67 s	3.63 s / 4.99 s
