Monitoring Citrix profiles with Centreon and Grafana
We will use this document to monitor with Centreon the size and number of files that our Citrix roaming profiles have, Of course, we can use it to monitor other folders.

Migrating the Citrix UPM profile to FSLogix
If you are still one of those who are still working with Citrix UPM mobile profiles (User Profile Management) and you want to try the wonder of FSLogix, But of course, you have users with a UPM profile and you want to migrate that to FSLogix so you don't start from scratch, This is your post!
Using FSLogix to Manage Profiles in Citrix Environments
A good alternative to using Citrix UPM is FSLogix. Since Microsoft acquired the FSLogix company, we can make use of this magnificent solution that no longer requires licensing as it comes with each RDP CAL. It's a marvel, It will prevent the profile from traveling through the network when logging in or logoff, what it will do is mount the user's profile directly on a virtual disk, where the user will work directly. Ideal for environments where profiles are starting to grow and pose a problem.
Using Host Profiles in vSphere 6.5
Moving on to vSphere Docs 6.5, today we will look at Host Profiles, We'll use them to try to keep our hosts' configuration as similar as possible! We will create a profile based on a model host, and then apply that profile to all hosts in the cluster, With this we will be able to check if all the hosts have the same configuration or if there is a different configuration or that we have forgotten to apply... We will see in this document how to create such a reference profile and we will display it!
VMware View Persona Management
One of the new capabilities in VMware View 5 is the management of user profiles with VMware View Persona Management, Through a series of policies we will optimize the configuration of network user profiles, a good alternative to Microsoft roaming profiles,
Using VM Storage Profiles – Profile-Driven Storage
One of VMware's new storage features in vSphere 5 en Profile-Driven Storage, By configuring a series of profiles and labels we can define the characteristics of our datastores. We will be able to define our warehouses according to their performance, availability, value… to later store the virtual machines in them depending on the quality of service that we want/must offer. When creating a VC, migrating it from datastore or cloning it, vCenter will show us the compatible datastores where we will store the VM, thus avoiding any human error,
Configuring profiles for XenApp or XenDesktop with Citrix Profile Management 3
Well, We finally have a new version of salvation for those of us who work with roaming profile environments, the great Citrix Profile Management product 3.0 that will help us manage our roaming profiles using Active Directory policies. The Profile Management agent must be installed on the XenApp servers and these GPOs must be configured with the parameters that interest us, we can even migrate from a traditional configuration of mobile profiles with CPM.
Using Host Profile in VMware vSphere
One way to help us in the configuration of our virtual environment is to rely on one of the new features that VMware vSphere brings 4, the ability to use already configured templates to apply to all our ESX hosts, or for when we add a new VMware ESX host to our virtual community, we can apply the same configurations that one of our hosts already has.. We can create a template from scratch by configuring everything manually or get said template from one of our servers already configured perfectly (being able to edit the profile if necessary), and then apply it to the rest of the hosts that do not meet the requirements that we indicate. This is called the VMware Host Profile.
USMT Application (User State Migration Tool)
This application will help us to migrate user profiles, either from one computer to another or to migrate the machine from a Microsoft Windows XP operating system to Microsoft Windows Vista, or directly if we are going to migrate from a Workgroup to a domain, or from one domain to another. All the information will migrate to us, User profile settings and data, are certified or are files encrypted by him (EFS), as well as ACLs (Access Control List) of the files… We can also do this using variables or XML configuration files.
