# User profile management for Azure Virtual Desktop with FSLogix profile containers
11

We recommend using [FSLogix profile containers](/fslogix/concepts-container-types#profile-container) with Azure Virtual Desktop to manage user profiles and personalization. FSLogix is designed to roam profiles in remote computing environments, such as Azure Virtual Desktop. It stores a complete user profile in a single container. At sign in, this container is dynamically attached to the computing environment using natively supported Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) and Hyper-V Virtual Hard disk (VHDX). The user profile is immediately available and appears in the system exactly like a native user profile. This article describes how FSLogix profile containers work with Azure Virtual Desktop.

A user profile contains data elements about an individual, including configuration information like desktop settings, persistent network connections, and application settings. By default, Windows creates a local user profile that is tightly integrated with the operating system.

A remote user profile provides a partition between user data and the operating system. It allows the operating system to be replaced or changed without affecting the user data. In Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), the operating system may be replaced for the following reasons:

UPD and RUP are the most widely used technologies for user profiles in Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) and Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) environments.

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.

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.

-**OneDrive:** Without FSLogix profile containers, OneDrive for Business is not supported in non-persistent RDSH or VDI environments. The [OneDrive VDI support page](/onedrive/sync-vdi-support) will tell you how they interact. For more information, see [Use the sync client on virtual desktops](/deployoffice/rds-onedrive-business-vdi/).

-**Additional folders:** FSLogix provides the ability to extend user profiles to include additional folders.

Since the acquisition, Microsoft started replacing existing user profile solutions, like UPD, with FSLogix profile containers.
