I have created a floating pool for staff which contains less than 10 actual running machines. Pool machines are set to be provisioned in advance. These machines are running our standard desktop load and at this point they have no thinapps or appstacks applied. We are using folder redirection for desktop and documents on physical and virtual desktops. I have tested logging in with and without persona management enabled accounts and this does not seem to make a difference.
Observed Log in Times:
Floating pool desktop from VCenter console: 2-5 minutes
Floating pool VM from View client: 2-5 minutes
Dedicated VM: 13 seconds (In same OU as Floating pool machines and receiving same policies)
Physical desktop: 6 seconds
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.
