I replied to another post on this issue but thought I would start a new one just in case.
I have a new desktop pool of linked clones with persistent hard drives. It adds a D and E drive for user data and temp data.
I also have view persona management enabled via group policy. So when the user logs in it copies the persona data from a shared folder to the D drive of the linked clone. Pretty standard setup!
My Documents, Favorites and Desktop are folder redirected using persona management but the other folders are copied using the roaming profile setting described above.
This is working great!
Now the issue is I am running into an issue I am working with VMWare with where when a linked clone is restarted the entire server locks up and we loose connection to the local lun. This issue doesn't happen with full clones and dedicated machines.
I have the disk space so I want to switch the users from linked clones to full dedicated machines so I can back them up and restore if needed.
The problem is when you log in a user with persona management enabled on the full clone I can't get the desktop to start up. It gives me the back ground of the desktop and I can run Ctrl-Alt-Del but can't get the start menu to show up.
With logging enabled I can see it referencing the start of explore.exe but nothing after that.
If I turn off persona management then it works fine. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I want to continue using Persona Management. If I log in as an admin it works fine but that profile doesn't use persona management.
