Question
An administrator has received multiple tickets from users experiencing log-on and log-off slowness while using VDI non-persistent desktops, other users in same VDI farm using persistent desktops are not experiencing the same issue. Currently, the administrator is levering an ESXi-based Nutanix all-flash cluster environment with a VMware Horizon Infrastructure. What is causing the slowness for the non-persistent users?
Options
- ANutanix AOS software running older versions.
- Buser accounts configured with Roaming Profiles
- CDesktops don't have enough hardware resources.
- DNetwork slowness due to high latency

Explanation
Non-persistent desktops discard all user-specific data on logoff and start fresh on next login. When users are configured with Roaming Profiles, their entire profile (documents, AppData, registry hive, etc.) must be downloaded from a network file share at logon and uploaded back at logoff. This causes significant logon/logoff slowness, especially with large profiles. Persistent desktop users (who are not affected) store their profiles locally and do not need to sync them over the network. The issue is not AOS version (A), hardware resources (C, which would cause in-session slowness, not logon/logoff), or network latency alone (D).
