Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

User personalization layer policy settings

To enable the mounting of user layers within the Virtual Delivery Agents, use the configuration parameters to specify:

  • Where on the network to access the user layers.
  • How large any new user layer disks can grow.

To do so, these two policies appear in the list of available policies:

  • User Layer Repository Path - Enter a path in the format ‘\server name or address\folder name’ in the Value field.
  • User Layer Size GB - The default user layer size of 10 GB is the minimum that Citrix recommends. A user layer is a thin-provisioned disk that expands to the set size as space is used. User layers never decrease in size.

Note:

Increasing the User Layer Size affects new user layers and expands existing ones. Decreasing the layer size only affects new user layers. Existing user layers never decrease in size.

For more information, see User personalization layer.
