In this blog I will show you step-by-step how to deploy FSLogix Profile container user Azure Files and Active Directory authentication for Windows Virtual Desktop.

There are several options for the storage location like an existing (or new) Windows File server, but since Azure Files with Active Directory authentication is GA, I personally prefer this option. It will optimize the sign-in time for the end user because the user profiles are stored in VHD(X) file that is mounted to the concerning Session host VM every time the user signs in and therefor nothing has to be downloaded first.

With FSLogix Profile container you can maintain user context (for example application settings) in non-persistent environments like within a Pooled Windows Virtual Desktop Host pool.
