Default Parameters for UserProfileTest

The UserProfileTest monitors the size of the Citrix/Microsoft RDS/VMware Horizon View RDS user profiles and raises an alarm if the profile size exceeds the profile quota size.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the UserProfileTest.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the PROFILESIZELIMIT text box, specify the profile quota size (in MB). The default value is 100 MB.

  • In the EXCLUDE text box, provide a comma-seperated list of users who need to be excluded from the analysis. By default, this parameter is set to All_Users, indicating that, by default, the test will not monitor the All_Users profile.

  • If CURRENTUSERSONLY is set to true, then the profile sizes of only those users who are currently logged into the server will be monitored. If this is set to false, eG Enterprise will perform profile monitoring for all the users to the server

  • The FILESIZELIMIT text box takes the file quota size (in KB). The default size is 10000 KB.

  • By default, when this test computes the size of a profile, it automatically excludes the following folders and their sub-folders from the computation: AppData\Local,AppData\LocalLow,Recycle.Bin,SkyDrive,WorkFolders. If need be, you can choose to include one/more of these default folders when computing the profile size; for this, all you need to do is remove those specific folders from the default EXCLUDE FOLDERS specification. For example, to include the SkyDrive and WorkFolders folders, simply remove them from the default specification above. Also, if required, you can exclude more folders from the profile size computation, by appending the corresponding folder names / folder name patterns to this default list. For instance, your specification can be: AppData\Local,AppData\LocalLow,Recycle.Bin,SkyDrive,WorkFolders,*Backup*,Favo*,*Desktop. In the case of this sample specification, in addition to the default list of excluded folders, all folders with names that embed the string Backup, with names that begin with the strin Favo, and with names that end with the string Destop, will be excluded from size computation. Moreover, all sub-folders within these folders will also be ignored during size computation.

  • By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user who accessed an application on the server. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged into the server from which domain. If you want the detailed diagnosis to display only the username of these users, set this flag to No.

  • The USER PROFILE DIR refers to the drive location where the profile directory is stored. With default setting, the user profile will check C:/Users for windows 2008 and 2012 so the default value of this parameter is set as none. In some cases, the profile directory may be stored in different drive (eg. D:\Users) according to the requirements. In such cases, you can enter the specific drive location in the USER PROFILE DIR text box.

  • Once the aforesaid values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
