Support for Citrix personal vDisk (PvD)
• By default Pm managed profiles are automatically stored on
the desktops personal vDisk (by default, P:) rather then the
system volume <C:>
• Pm profile is still maintained and synched back to the Pm user store
allowing the profile to be easily backed-up while also supporting non
PvD desktops
• Default behaviour can be altered so that Pm manages user profiles
independently on the system volume

Architecture Changes
• Subtle changes made to Pm v4.1
• UPM service checks for the presence of
the following registry value and alters its
default behaviour if found:
• HKLM\Software\Citrix\personal
vDisk\Config\EnableUserProfileRedirection
(REG_DWORD:1)
• If value is set to 1 then Both “profile
streaming” and “delete cached profiles
on logoff” settings are disabled

Group Policy enhancement
• Out of the box support for XML based ADMX as well as
legacy ADM templates files
• Previously customers had to use “ADMX migrator” to convert from
ADM to ADMX
• Advantages are numerous and include
• Language neutrality through use of ADML files
• New Central Store within SYSVOL directory used for replication
• Co-existence with ADM template files

applications
