After you create a VMware Dynamic Environment Manager GPO, you must configure its settings. These settings are required to configure the location of the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager configuration and profile archives shares, and configure FlexEngine to start automatically during login.

Prerequisites

You must at least configure the following settings:

  • Flex configuration files.
  • Profile archives.
  • Run FlexEngine at logon and logoff.

The rest of the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager GPO settings are optional and enabling them depends on your infrastructure and requirements.

Note: The Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon computer Group Policy setting is no longer a mandatory requirement for VMware Dynamic Environment Manager. However, in some scenarios, the infrastructure setup might need this policy to be enabled. As a best practice, enable the Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon setting for an OU in Active Directory where all the Windows clients are located.
