Default Parameters for WVDUserLogOnTest

The process of a user logging into an AVD is fairly complex. First, the domain controller is discovered and the login credentials are authenticated. Then, the corresponding user profile is identified and loaded. Next, group policies are applied and logon scripts are processed to setup the user environment. In the meantime, additional processing may take place for a user – say, applying system profiles, creating new printers for the user, and so on. A slowdown in any of these steps can significantly delay the logon process for a user. Since logons on Windows happen sequentially, this may adversely impact the logins for other users who may be trying to access the AVD at the same time. Hence, if a user complains that he/she is unable to access an application, administrators must be able to rapidly isolate exactly where the logon process is stalling and for which user.

This test periodically monitors the user login and profile loading process and accurately identify where the process is bottlenecked. - in the authentication process? during GPO processing and if so, which GPO? which client side extension was processed by the GPO when the delay occurred? is the group policy processing mode impacting user logon?

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

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

• By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, this test will report metrics for each domainname\username logged into the chosen Session Host / Azure Virtual Desktop. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged in from which domain. If you want the test to report metrics for the username alone, then set this flag to No.

• The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY .

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
