 # User profile management for Azure Virtual Desktop with FSLogix profile containers

 UPD and RUP are the most widely used technologies for user profiles in Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) and Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) environments.
 
-### Challenges with previous user profile technologies
-
-Existing and legacy Microsoft solutions for user profiles came with various challenges. No previous solution handled all the user profile needs that come with an RDSH or VDI environment. For example, UPD cannot handle large OST files and RUP does not persist modern settings.
-
-#### Functionality
-
-The following table shows benefits and limitations of previous user profile technologies.
-
-| Technology | Modern settings | Win32 settings | OS settings | User data | Supported on server SKU | Back-end storage on Azure | Back-end storage on-premises | Version support | Subsequent sign in time |Notes|
-| ---------- | :-------------: | :------------: | :---------: | --------: | :---------------------: | :-----------------------: | :--------------------------: | :-------------: | :---------------------: |-----|
-| **User Profile Disks (UPD)** | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Win 7+ | Yes | |
-| **Roaming User Profile (RUP), maintenance mode** | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes| No | Yes | Win 7+ | No | |
-| **Enterprise State Roaming (ESR)** | Yes | No | Yes | No | See notes | Yes | No | Win 10 | No | Functions on server SKU but no supporting user interface |
-| **User Experience Virtualization (UE-V)** | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | Yes | Win 7+ | No |  |
-| **OneDrive cloud files** | No | No | No | Yes | See notes | See notes  | See Notes | Win 10 RS3 | No | Not tested on server SKU. Back-end storage on Azure depends on sync client. Back-end storage on-premises needs a sync client. |
-
-#### Performance
-
-UPD requires [Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)](/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-storage-spaces-direct-deployment/) to address performance requirements. UPD uses Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It copies the profile to the VM in which the user is being logged.
-
-#### Cost
-
-While S2D clusters achieve the necessary performance, the cost is expensive for enterprise customers, but especially expensive for small and medium business (SMB) customers. For this solution, businesses pay for storage disks, along with the cost of the VMs that use the disks for a share.
-
-#### Administrative overhead
-
-S2D clusters require an operating system that is patched, updated, and maintained in a secure state. These processes and the complexity of setting up S2D disaster recovery make S2D feasible only for enterprises with a dedicated IT staff.

 On November 19, 2018, [Microsoft acquired FSLogix](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/11/19/microsoft-acquires-fslogix-to-enhance-the-office-365-virtualization-experience/). FSLogix addresses many profile container challenges. Key among them are:
 
 - **Performance:** The [FSLogix profile containers](/fslogix/configure-profile-container-tutorial/) are high performance and resolve performance issues that have historically blocked cached exchange mode.
