We also checked, if there are some GPO in Australia that are copying stuff from Switzerland to the VDI's. I checked if the logon server is maybe one here in Switzerland, but it one of the DC's in Australia. For 20sec I see the Citrix connecting windows, then for about 60sec the Welcome Screen, then for about 65sec the prepare Windows and bam I see my desktop. I just tested it with a testuser, I used a stop clock during the logon. The director doesnt show us the correct logon times, they are actually much higher than the displayed logon times.

Streamed Profile is not enabled and we are using WEM for the profile settings and other stuff. Even when we reset the Citrix profile of one of those users. But now we configured a file-server for them in Australia, but we still have those long logon times. So the personal data was somehow saved within the Citrix profile. We had a problem that our AD-Team didnt create a homeuser share on a file-server in Australia.

But when the users are logged in, the performance of the VDI's is good. Also with an admin account, which dont get a citrix profile, it takes about 60-90s.

Our problem is, that the users down there facing extreme logon times 3 to almost 7min. Storage is provided with Nutanix storage. We are using Citrix App-Layering to create the master-image for those VDIs and the hypervisor is Nutanix acropolis. We built a VDI environment based on Win10, XD7 1906, WEM and PVS. We have quite a big problem with one of our branch office in Australia.
