Objective
The primary intent of this article is to provide steps on how to configure Citrix Profile management for the first time assuming that
Virtual Apps and Desktops/Citrix Cloud environment is already configured.
Introduction
Profile management ensures that the user’s personal settings are applied to the user’s virtual desktop and applications, regardless of
the location and end point device. Profile Management can be installed together when you install the XD/XA layout.
Instructions
Plan your Profile Management Deployment
First stage in planning is to decide on a set of policy settings that together form a configuration that is suitable for the environment
and users.
Refer Plan your deployment.
There are four ways to configure Citrix Profile Management:
Microsoft Active Directory Group Policy Management
Citrix Studio Policies
UPMPolicyDefaults.ini file
Citrix Workspace Environment Management
Note:
Highest priority is of GPO followed by WEM, Studio and.ini file.
We suggest that you configure the policy only from one place.
The .ini file can only influence the VDA client where the .ini is located. We recommend that you configure the common policies
through GPO or Studio.

How to Configure Citrix Profile Management
Profile management is not supported with REFS file system.
Microsoft Active Directory Group Policy Management
1. Import Citrix Profile Management admx and adml files to PolicyDefinitions from \x64\ProfileManagement\ADM_Templates\en
folder in the iso
2. Open the ‘Group Policy Management’, create a GPO/use existing GPO and link it to desired OU
3. Edit the GPO and configure policies under Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Citrix>Profile
Management
4. Before you configure Citrix Profile Management, you should create a user store to store the user profiles. Refer: Create the user
store.
Basic policies that you should configure:
1. Policy ‘Path to user store’. Refer: Specify the path to the user store.
2. Enable the policy ‘Enable Profile Management’ to make UPM work. Refer: To enable Profile management.
3. Enable the policy ‘Path to log’ to save the UPM log to the path you prefer, which could help better locate the issue when
troubleshooting. Refer: Enable logging for Troubleshooting and CTX126723.
4. If you want to migrate the existing profiles into Profile Management environment and preserve the personalization that have
built up over many years rather than starting with a new default profile, configure the Migration of existing profiles and Local
profile conflict handling policies.
See: Migrate profiles? New profiles?
5. Policy ‘Folder redirection’ can let you redirect some folders to other places rather than stored in user profile, especially some
large size folder. This could help reduce the logon-logoff time.
See To configure folder redirection.
6. The last but not the least, you should run ‘gpupdate /force’ on VDA clients or restart the VDA clients to make the policies you
made take effect on VDA client.
Citrix Studio Policy
1.Open Citrix Studio and go to "Policies" tab
2. Select Create Policy
3. Select 'Profile Management' from 'All Settings' dropdown menu
4. Configure desired settings and apply the policy as required
UPMPolicyDefaults_all.ini file
