\nMicrosoft Teams on VDI gets more features for calls and meetings – Microsoft Community Hub
\n<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. This article is intended to provide suggestions for configurations for Windows 10, build , for optimal performance in Virtualized Desktop environments, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure VDI and Azure Virtual Desktop.<\/p>\n

All settings in this guide are suggested optimization settings only and are in no way requirements. The information in this guide is pertinent to Windows 10, version , operating system OS build The guiding principles to optimize performance of Windows 10 in a virtual desktop environment are to minimize graphic redraws and effects, background activities that have no major benefit to the virtual desktop environment, and generally reduce running processes to the bare minimum.<\/p>\n

A secondary goal is to reduce disk space usage in the base image to the bare minimum. With virtual desktop implementations, the smallest possible base, or “gold” image size, can slightly reduce memory utilization on the host system, as well as a small reduction in overall network operations required to deliver the desktop environment to the consumer.<\/p>\n

No optimizations should reduce the user experience. Each optimization setting has been carefully reviewed to ensure that there is no appreciable degradation to the user experience. The settings in this article can be applied to other Windows 10 installations, such as version , physical devices, or other virtual machines. There are no recommendations in this article that should affect supportability of Windows 10 in a virtual desktop environment.<\/p>\n

A “full” virtual desktop environment can present a complete desktop session, including applications, to a computer user over a network. The network delivery vehicle can be an on-premises network, the Internet, or both. Some implementations of virtual desktop environments use a “base” operating system image, which then becomes the basis for the desktops subsequently presented to the users for work.<\/p>\n

There are variations of virtual desktop implementations such as “persistent”, “non-persistent”, and “desktop session. The non-persistent type does not preserve changes to the virtual desktop operating system from one session to the next. To the user this desktop is little different than other virtual or physical device, other than it is accessed over a network. The optimization settings could take place on a reference machine. A virtual machine VM would be an ideal place to build the VM, because state can be saved, checkpoints can be made, backups can be made, and so on.<\/p>\n

A default OS installation is performed to the base VM. That base VM is then optimized by removing unneeded apps, installing Windows updates, installing other updates, deleting temporary files, applying settings, and so on. An in-depth discussion regarding these technologies is outside the scope of this article. This article focuses on the Windows base image settings, without reference to other factors in the environment such as host hardware optimization.<\/p>\n

Security and stability are among the highest priorities for Microsoft when it comes to products and services. In the virtual desktop realm, security is not handled much differently than physical devices. Enterprise customers may choose to utilize the built-in to Windows services of Windows Security, which comprises a suite of services that work well connected or not connected to the Internet. For those virtual desktop environments not connected to the Internet, security signatures can be downloaded proactively several times per day, because Microsoft may release more than one signature update per day.<\/p>\n

Those signatures can then be provided to the virtual desktop devices and scheduled to be installed during production, regardless of persistent or non-persistent. That way the VM protection is as current as possible. There are some security settings that are not applicable to virtual desktop environments that are not connected to the Internet, and thus not able to participate in cloud-enabled security.<\/p>\n

There are other settings that “normal” Windows devices may utilize such as Cloud Experience, The Windows Store, and so on. Removing access to unused features reduces footprint, network bandwidth, and attack surface. Regarding updates, Windows 10 utilizes a monthly update rhythm. In some cases virtual desktop administrators control the process of updating through a process of shutting down VMs based on a “master” or “gold” image, unseal that image which is read-only, patch the image, then reseal it and bring it back into production.<\/p>\n

Therefore, there is no need to have virtual desktop devices checking Windows Update. However, there are cases where normal patching procedures take place, like the case of persistent “personal” virtual desktop devices.<\/p>\n

In some cases, Windows Update can be utilized. In some cases, Intune could be utilized. It is up to each organization to determine the best approach to updating virtual desktop devices, while reducing overhead cycles. The local policy settings, as well as many other settings in this guide, can be overridden with domain-based policy. It is recommended to go through the policy settings thoroughly and remove or not use any that are not desired or applicable to your environment.<\/p>\n

The settings listed in this document try to achieve the best balance of performance optimization in virtual desktop environments, while maintaining a quality user experience. There is a set of scripts available at GitHub. This script was designed to be easily customizable for your environment and requirements. The main code is PowerShell, and the work is done by calling input files, which are plain text now. These text files contain lists of the apps to be removed, services to be disabled, and so on.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to remove a particular app or disable a particular service, you can edit the corresponding text file and remove the item you do not want acted upon. Finally, there is an export of local policy settings that can be imported into your environment machines. It’s better to have some of the settings within the base image, than to have the settings applied through group policy, as some of the settings take effect on the next restart or when a component is first used.<\/p>\n

Persistent virtual desktop is at the basic level, a device that saves operating system state in between reboots. Other software layers of the virtual desktop solution provide the users easy and seamless access to their assigned VMs, often with a single sign-on solution. When a non-persistent virtual desktop implementation is based on a base or “gold” image, the optimizations are mostly performed in the base image, and then through local settings and local policies.<\/p>\n

With image-based non-persistent NP virtual desktop environments, the base image is read-only. Activity that occurs during startup and thereafter until the next reboot is redirected to a temporary location.<\/p>\n

Usually the users are provided network locations to store their data. One important aspect of NP virtual desktop that is based on a single image, is servicing. Updates to the operating system OS and components of the OS are delivered usually once per month.<\/p>\n

With image based virtual desktop environment, there is a set of processes that must be performed to get updates to the image:. On a given host, all the VMs on that host, based from the base image must be shut down or turned off. This means the users are redirected to other VMs.<\/p>\n

In some implementations, this is referred to as “draining. In draining mode, when the last user logs off the device, that device is then ready for servicing operations.<\/p>\n

The base image is then opened and started up. All maintenance activities are then performed, such as OS updates,. NET updates, app updates, and so on. Windows 10 performs a set of maintenance tasks, automatically, on a periodic basis.<\/p>\n

There is a scheduled task that is set to run at AM every day by default. This scheduled task performs a list of tasks, including Windows Update cleanup. You can view all the categories of maintenance that take place automatically with this PowerShell command:. One of the challenges with non-persistent virtual desktop is that when a user logs off, nearly all the OS activity is discarded.<\/p>\n

Therefore, optimizations intended for a Windows computer that saves state from one session to the next are not applicable.<\/p>\n

Depending on the architecture of virtual desktop device, things like PreFetch and SuperFetch are not going to help from one session to the next, as all the optimizations are discarded on VM restart. Indexing may be a partial waste of resources, as would be any disk optimizations such as a traditional defragmentation.<\/p>\n

Windows 10 has a built-in capability called the System Preparation Tool , also known as sysprep. The sysprep tool is used to prepare a customized Windows 10 image for duplication. The sysprep process assures the resulting OS is properly unique to run in production.<\/p>\n

There are reasons for and against running sysprep. In the case of virtual desktop environments, you may want the ability to customize the default user profile which would be used as the profile template for subsequent users that sign in using this image. You may have apps that you want installed, but also able to control per-app settings.<\/p>\n

The alternative is to use a standard. ISO to install from, possibly using an unattended installation answer file, and a task sequence to install applications or remove applications. Anytime that Windows defaults are changed, questions arise regarding supportability.<\/p>\n

Once a virtual desktop image VM or session is customized, every change made to the image needs to be tracked in a change log. If a time comes to troubleshoot, often an image can be isolated in a pool and configured for problem analysis.<\/p>\n

Once a problem has been tracked to root cause, that change can then be rolled out to the test environment first, and ultimately to the production workload. This document intentionally avoids touching system services, policies, or tasks that affect security. After that comes Windows servicing.<\/p>\n

The ability to service virtual desktop images outside of maintenance windows is removed, as maintenance windows are when most servicing events take place in virtual desktop environments, except for security software updates. Microsoft has published guidance for Windows Security in virtual desktop environments, here:.<\/p>\n

Please consider supportability when altering default Windows settings. Occasionally difficult to solve problems arise when altering system services, policies, or scheduled tasks, in the name of hardening, “lightening,” and so on.<\/p>\n

Consult the Microsoft Knowledge Base for current known issues regarding altered default settings. The guidance in this document, and the associated script on GitHub will be maintained with respect to known issues, if any arise. In addition you can report issues in a number of ways to Microsoft. You can use your favorite search engine with the terms “start value” site:support. You might note that this document and the associated scripts on GitHub do not modify any default permissions. If you are interested in increasing your security settings, start with the project known as AaronLocker.<\/p>\n

For more information, see “AaronLocker” overview. One of the goals of a virtual desktop image is to be as light as possible with respect to persistent storage.<\/p>\n
