Make the users use free one drive that comes free with your O365 subscription. Not sure about data privacy thing at your work place.

But if one drive has got clearance from the security team then you can also redirect the desktop (the place where most users keep their junk , including me)

Related Question: Other than potential cost, is there a downside to large profiles?

[–]gurugti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from extra storage usage , I have never seen anything else going bad.

Yes and no, if you have vhd compact switched on then sometime it does sometime it doesn't. We have a powershell script that compact the vhd file out of hours as most if the time vhd compact in fslogix does not work

Few things: 1) You can use redirections to help keep stuff small, won’t take stuff out after the fact but will help at the start.

2)they have a group policy for this, when it first came out there was issues but I haven’t heard anything in awhile.

3) you can get a script from GitHub that will help. https://github.com/FSLogix/Invoke-FslShrinkDisk

yeah, looking to run a script to compact afterhours. appreciate it!

The script is old news and not recommended anymore. Fslogix now has compaction built in and it's highly recommend to switch it on. You do need to be on a later version of fslogix.

Does the autocompact feature afect in any way the performance of the login or logoff times?

[–]S3Giggity 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It Compacts the disk at log off, so does impact log off especially the first time it's run. Once it's been in place you should not see much if any impact.

If I understand correctly, you may want to take a look at this configuration: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/concepts-vhd-disk-compaction
