Procedure
u
When you install View Agent on a virtual machine, select the View Persona Management setup option.
What to do next
Add the View Persona Management ADM Template file to your Active Directory server or the Local Computer
Policy configuration on the virtual machine itself. See “Add the View Persona Management ADM Template
File,” on page 179.
Installing UPHClean on Windows XP Desktops That Use View Persona Management
The Microsoft User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (UPHClean) ensures that user sessions are completely
terminated when a user logs off. UPHClean cleans registry key handles that might be stranded by other
processes and applications. This service helps to ensure that the user's registry hive is unloaded so that it can
be uploaded successfully and the local persona can be deleted.
If you configure View Persona Management on Windows XP virtual machines, download and install
UPHClean in the guest operating system.
You can download the UPHClean service at the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=6676.
The UPHClean service is included with Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems. You do not have
to install the service on these operating systems.
Add the View Persona Management ADM Template File
The View Persona Management Administrative (ADM) Template file contains group policy settings that allow
you to configure View Persona Management. Before you can configure the policies, you must add the ADM
Template file to the local virtual machines or Active Directory server.
To configure View Persona Management on a single virtual machine, you can add the group policy settings
to the Local Computer Policy configuration on that local system.
To configure View Persona Management for a desktop pool, you can add the group policy settings to the Local
Computer Policy configuration on the virtual machine that you use as a parent or template for deploying the
desktop pool.
To configure View Persona Management at the domain-wide level and apply the configuration to many
desktops or your whole deployment, you can add the group policy settings to Group Policy Objects (GPOs)
on your Active Directory server. In Active Directory, you can create an OU for the desktops that use View
Persona Management, create one or more GPOs, and link the GPOs to the OU. To configure separate View
Persona Management policies for different types of users, you can create OUs for particular sets of desktops
and apply different GPOs to the OUs.
For an example of implementing Active Directory group policies in View, see “Active Directory Group Policy
Example,” on page 171.
Add the Persona Management ADM Template to a Single System
To configure View Persona Management for a single desktop pool, you must add the Persona Management
ADM Template file to the Local Computer Policy on the virtual machine that you use to create the pool. To
configure View Persona Management on a single system, you must add the Persona Management ADM
Template file to that system.
Prerequisites
