Group policy not getting updated in FSlogix

Question

Hi All,

We are using FSLogix for our VDI solution, with Profile and ODFC containers configured separately. However, we are encountering an issue where new Group Policies for the VDI OU are not being updated. The Group Policies only update when we delete the FSLogix profiles.

We do not have Group Policy caching or FSLogix profile redirection enabled. Could you please assist us with a fix for this issue?

Our VDI environment is running on Windows Server 2019 OS (multi-session).

FSLogix version: 2210 hotfix 4 (2.9.8884.27471)

Thank you in advance

Hello,

We have the same issue while working with FSlogix Profile Containers, and we found that the following method works for us, but this is a big workaround because you need to do this for all the users' profiles.
Sadly we didn't find a better solution..
This also works for your situation most user configuration GPOs are treated similarly.

Do the following and it will work:

1. Make sure the fslogix user profile is not connected and vhdx is unmounted.
2. Mount the vhdx to get access to the registry editor of the user profile.
3. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\FSL.VHD……… (THIS is the current user registry which contain the policies that applied to the user we mounted)
4. Navigate to the desired registry key and delete it.
5.  If you cannot locate the desired registry key, you can delete the Policies folder under HKEY_USERS\FSL.VHD\SOFTWARE\Policies.
6. Close the registry editor and unmount the vhdx via the system tray in order to make sure the user will be able to connect .
7. Connect with the user and test, When the user logs back in, the Policies folder will recreate itself with newly pulled GPO settings.
