UE-V Implementation Steps

Which Profile to choose?• Supported Profiles to use with UE-V

– Local

– Mandatory (Fastest Logon for non-persistent VDI)

• UE-V & RUP Long-term together not recommended– Non-deterministic settings synchronization

• Suggested RUP Migration to UE-V– Enable UE-V and RUP (short-term only) for a single machine for each

user

– For each user:• Log on

• Execute UE-V enabled apps

• Turn off RUP for that user

UE-V Agent deployment• Scenario 1: Standard deployment – default templates and AD home

AgentSetup.exe /quiet

• Scenario 2: Settings storage location – mandatory if AD home directory isn’t setAgentSetup.exe /quiet SettingsStoragePath="\\Server\SettingsShare\%username%"

• Scenario 3: VDI deploymentAgentSetup.exe /quiet SyncMethod="None"

• Scenario 4: Per user enablementAgentSetup.exe /quiet EnableSync="False“

• Scenario 5: Defer Reboot AgentSetup.exe /quiet /NoRestart

Order of precedence for UE-V

settings• Group Policy settings

– User-targeted• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Uev\Agent\Configuration

– Computer-targeted• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Uev\Agent\Configuration

– Current user-targeted• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Uev\Agent\Configuration

– Computer-targeted• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Uev\Agent\Configuration

Configuration Pack for UE-V• Available for Configuration Manager 2012 R2

5To the Cloud and Back – a Journey of Choices, by Paul van der Lingen, Consulting Systems Engineer

The cloud is today the most compelling new technology, but as with all things new and shiny, how do we make the most of it - leveraging all the good but deftly side-stepping the bad. The key is choice and consistency. We believe customer data remains at the heart of the new technology and in this session we’ll show how transparent but consistent data movement and protection remain the most important aspects of a complete cloud strategy.

6 Lost in translation - How Azure Networking is different, by Joeri Van Hoof, Consulting Sales Engineer

As one of the major cloud providers Microsoft Azure has a big adoption rate in a lot of businesses around the world. Customers are moving parts of their infrastructure from their own datacenter(s) to the Azure Cloud. Developers, system engineers, network engineers and security staff are all effected by this change. On premise network engineers have been building secure networks for years. Obviously they want to extend and reuse this knowledge in the cloud. They are talking about network firewalls, network segmentation, vlan’s. However in the Azure cloud this is slightly different and some of the trusted mechanisms are unavailable. In this talk we go in-depth on the various Azure networking options and how establish secure connectivity between Azure and various on-premise locations
