Delivering hosted shared virtual desktop requires proper planning and configuration to maximize the scalability of server resources while providing users with an optimized and functional desktop environment. This document outlines optimizations for XenApp 6 on Windows Server 2008 R2 to meet these goals. These configurations typically add value by enhancing the user experience and increasing

  • Optimizing Windows 10, Build 2004, for a Virtual Desktop Role
    Optimizing Windows 10, Build 2004, for a Virtual Desktop role Written by Robert M. Smith, Program Manager, Azure Global Customer Engineering Date Created: May 12, 2020 Date Updated: July 08, 2020 Date Published: tbd Contributors: Tim Muessig, Senior Premier Field Engineer; Narklis Engler, Principal Program Manager Version 1.2 Document Change History Version Changes 1.0 Adding verbiage for Windows Virtual Desktop, and Windows 10 build 2004 specifically 1.1 Additional updates for 2004 1.2 Final pass, updated group policy, services, tasks, and added info about Storage Sense for disk cleanup. Introduction This article is intended to provide suggestions for configurations for Windows 10, build 2004, for optimal performance in Virtualized Desktop environments, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). 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 2004, operating system (OS) build 19041. 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. 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. No optimizations should reduce the user experience.
