All You (N)ever Wanted to Know about Logon & Group Policy Performance

Conferences
Published May 8, 2015 Updated Mar 4, 2019

Citrix Synergy, E2EVC and BriForum are just around the corner. I will be presenting at each of these conferences. Here are a few tidbits to whet your appetite.

Citrix Synergy Orlando

Having spent the majority of the past weeks preparing my sessions it feels good to finally be able to present! I will be on stage at next week’s Citrix Synergy Orlando three days in a row, starting Tuesday, May 12th at 2 PM with SYN502 - I’ve got 99 problems, and folder redirection is every one of them. That session is a follow-up to the last year’s very successful folder redirection presentation, and I am co-presenting with the awesome Aaron Parker (@stealthpuppy) and Shawn Bass (@ShawnBass).

Next up on Wednesday, May 13th at 3:30 PM is SYN509 - How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance.

User Logon

A day later, on Thursday May 14th at 8:30 AM you can learn even more about the Windows logon process in SYN409 - Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process.

E2EVC Orlando

As a community conference E2EVC is a great way to get to know, share and learn with and from the many awesome people in the virtualization community. E2EVC is right after Synergy in a nearby location which makes it convenient (and definitely worthwhile) to stay an extra day or two. I will be demoing our user experience analytics tool uberAgent on Friday, May 15th at 1:30 PM and explain how to easily impress your customers with the cool data it provides.

BriForum London

With only a one-day stop back at home my next destination is London, where you have another chance to hear Dissecting the XenApp / XenDesktop Logon Process and How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance, albeit in much more detail as BriForum sessions with their 75 minutes duration offer a lot more room for explanation than the 45 minutes sessions at Synergy.

Even More

Back from London, you can find me in Bielefeld at bluecue’s solution seminar on May 21st.

I am already looking forward to E2EVC Berlin where I will be demoing uberAgent on Friday, June 12th at 3:30 PM and repeating the Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process session on Saturday, June 13th at 3:30 PM.

Later in June I will travel to beautiful Vaduz, Liechtenstein, and Basel, Switzerland, to present at LC Systems’ Splunk events.

I hope to see you at one or more of these great events in the coming weeks!

Leaked Token Handles Preventing RDS Session ID Reuse

A recent article on Microsoft’s Ask the Directory Services Team blog piqued my interest. It talks about how leaked access tokens prevent logon sessions to be freed when the user logs off. This wastes system resources that can only be reclaimed by rebooting. A symptom of this happening is that RDS session IDs are not reused.
