VMWARE MOBILE SECURE DESKTOP WITH PROFILEUNITY WITH FLEXAPP VMware offers the Mobile Secure Desktop architecture which provides mobile secure access to applications and data across devices and locations. Liquidware Labs’ user virtualization solution, ProfileUnity, with FlexApp user installed applications, is a 3rd-‐party enabling software technology for the VMware Mobile Secure Desktop.

Today’s workforce cannot afford to be tethered to traditional stationary desktops. New devices have proliferated companies of all sizes and industries. Workers are increasingly mobile or working remotely from office locations. Industries that have a non-‐traditional work mode, such as healthcare, transportation or law enforcement, need to leverage a secure and always available desktop model to perform their jobs where they are. Many organizations, prompted by their workers, are considering Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.

To respond to this changing work model, VMware has introduced the Mobile Secure Desktop. By using a validated architectural design for virtualized desktops on VMware View and vSphere, organizations can now have unparalleled desktop and application access across qualified devices and locations -‐-‐ in the office or halfway around the world. VMware View™ and ThinApp allows access to desktops, data and applications based on endpoint device configuration, network location and user identity. User virtualization is an essential component in decoupling the user from the machine and operating system. ProfileUnity with FlexApp complements VMware View with functionality that supports an “Any Time, Any Where, Any Device” business strategy. ProfileUnity with FlexApp adds these critical capabilities to VMware Mobile Secure Desktop solution:

• Organizations can leverage secure, cost-‐effective non-‐persistent desktops yet offer a high degree of personalization.

• “Follow me” user profiles, data and user installed apps provide a consistent one-‐profile-‐per-‐user experience for workers regardless of how many devices they use or where or when they login.

• Organizations can tap a universal profile format For Windows XP/7/8 to enable the greatest degree of device compatibility.

• Context-‐aware session settings help to provide local resources to users based on their identity, not on the machine they are using.

• Organizations using VMware ThinApp gain additional features support for deployment, inventory, licensing and dynamic assignment of applications.

Organizations get a sophisticated full featured user virtualization solution that is “lightweight” and reduces complexity in their environments. ProfileUnity with FlexApp runs as a virtual appliance and does not require complex back-‐end systems to support it. This solution leverages a network-‐side agent design to reduce impact on network and storage resources.

Because ProfileUnity automates so much of the profile management process, administrators can reclaim time to spend on more productive, higher value tasks.


PROFILEUNITY WITH FLEXAPP TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW Award-‐winning ProfileUnity™ is a feature-‐rich and affordable user virtualization and profile management solution for virtual desktop deployments and physical PCs. ProfileUnity decouples user profiles and data from the operating system for migration to VMware View or any platform that supports Windows OS, making it the ideal bridge solution for heterogeneous environments running physical, virtual and Terminal Services sessions.

ProfileUnity delivers a flexible universal profile that is compatible across multiple Windows versions. With no software to install on desktops, this cost-‐effective solution separately stores and infuses user profiles, configurations, and data into the Windows OS in seconds at login, enabling organizations to be more flexible than ever before with their desktops.

FlexApp user installed application (UIA) software enables a potentially limitless number of applications to be stored separately from the Windows operating system yet 'snapped-‐in' in only seconds at login. FlexApp addresses a need in the virtual desktop market to empower virtual desktop users to install the applications they need to be productive. UIA applications are self-‐managed by user who is responsible for all updates and the ongoing viability of the application. In supporting UIA, FlexApp brings back the control the user had on physical desktops and applies it to non-‐persistent hosted desktops.

Award-‐Winning ProfileUnity offers these key advantages:

• ProfileUnity retains profiles in native Windows® formats, which keeps them backward and forward compatible across Windows operating systems, including Windows XP/2000/Vista/Server 2003/2008/Windows 7/8. ProfileUnity is the perfect solution to harvest user profiles and user data from Windows XP environments in preparation for migration to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

• Any platform that runs Windows OS can utilize ProfileUnity for profile management, including VMware® View and physical machines. So you can use one solution for your entire desktop environment. User Profiles, User Authored Data, and Application Data Settings (even between mixed versions) are dynamically made available to any desktop Windows OS at every login.

• ProfileUnity can run as a standalone system or virtual appliance. No software to install on desktops. No backend systems or proprietary databases are required. ProfileUnity is priced an average of 40 to 50 percent less than other user virtualization offerings, for faster ROI faster and to reduce overall budget.

• ProfileUnity offers sophisticated features including Context-‐Aware Filters, Integration with Microsoft® Active Directory, Drive Mappings, Automated Folder Redirection and more.

Innovative FlexApp technology provides key benefits to customers, including:

• Simplifies management of non-‐persistent Windows environments dramatically because fewer master images must be maintained

• Promotes greater desktop virtualization ROI and economies of scale because more workers can use the virtual desktop infrastructure

• Reduces desktop administrator time on maintenance and troubleshooting activities • Significantly lowers TCO as organizations realize optimal license use and reduce storage requirements • Virtualizes the installation of an application location, not the application itself, thus appears native to the

OS, therefore, applications are instantly usable without any modifications

This QuickStart and Evaluation Guide for ProfileUnity with FlexApp is designed to focus your efforts on the most valuable and consistently used functionality that can apply to a wide range of organizations. It is not meant to


demonstrate the depth of the solution’s customizable feature capabilities as these are quite significant and comprehensive.

It is strongly recommended that you read this guide in its entirety before you begin the installation and configuration for the product. In order to get the best results for the evaluation, it is good idea to familiarize yourself with the special features and unique capabilities of ProfileUnity with FlexApp outlined in this guidebook before you engage in the configuration process.

How you configure the product depends in part on the exact features you wish to test for your environment. Also, you will need to test actual user profiles and data in order to evaluate many of the features, so be prepared with identified Windows user test candidates before installation and configuration.

TOP REASONS CUSTOMERS USE PROFILEUNITY For the most part, customers choose ProfileUnity to automate many of the processes around managing their user profiles, user data and the resources (including printers, drive, applications, etc.) that are assigned to users.

The top reasons that customers deploy ProfileUnity include:

• Speeding up user login times • Moving user-‐authored data to the network • Migrating user profiles to new environments or upgraded OS • Configuring desktops with assigned shortcuts, drives, printers, etc. • Capturing and portability of user installed applications

The examples provided in this QuickStart and Evaluation Guide will illustrate how to use ProfileUnity to address these needs in customers’ environments.


QUICKSTART PROCESS

DOWNLOAD OPTIONS You have two options when downloading ProfileUnity. (See Figure 1.)Both options are available after filling out a quick form on the Liquidware Labs Download page. These options are Standalone (1) and Virtual Appliance (2).

1. ProfileUnity Standalone (option at top of image) – A Windows installer package consisting of approximately 50 MB that can be installed on to any Windows Server or Desktop. No virtual infrastructure is required.

(OR)

2. Liquidware Labs Stratusphere Virtual Appliance (options at bottom of image) – One virtual appliance with all of Liquidware Labs’ desktop transformation solutions.

1.

2.

FIGURE 1


You may choose either option, both versions have the same features. Some customers choose the Virtual Appliance because they prefer that method and they may be considering other products from Liquidware Labs. Other customers choose the Standalone method because it may be the only product from Liquidware Labs that they need, they may not readily have an available virtual server for the appliance, or they prefer the lightweight 50MB download.

REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION The following requirements and preparation should be made to the environment for either method of download and installation.

• Ensure that you have administrator access to save files to the Netlogin folder of the domain controller.

NOTE: If the Netlogon folder is not desired, any other UNC path may be used that meets the following requirements: “Authenticated users” must have read access and there should be a replication strategy in place to avoid the possibility of the alternative server being down.

• Ensure that you have rights to the domain to modify and create Microsoft Group Policies. • Ensure that users have allocated network drive space. Existing paths are fine. Suggested size for

compressed profile store is 150 MB (15-‐50 average is typical.) • Ensure that you have ample network storage available per user for folder redirection of “My Documents”

and any other files you wish to redirect. Storage required will vary greatly depending on quantity of user data per user.

If testing the optional FlexApp feature, ensure you have a non-‐persistent VDI environment for testing, where the desktop refreshes at logoff. Also have a storage path where a VHD can be created or where an existing VMware Persistent Disk resides. Microsoft.net should also be included in the build of the virtual machine. Although ProfileUnity’s Guided Configuration will give you the option to quickly implement FlexApp, please be aware that there is additional documentation available. A FlexApp Technical Guide is available on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation page.

WARNING: Only select this option for non-‐persistent VDI environments. FlexApp does not yet support physical Windows desktops or persistent VDI desktops.

Additional configuration requirements are necessary if you plan to use the Liquidware Labs Stratusphere Virtual Appliance. If you have chosen this method, please ensure the appliance has the following information:

• Hostname • IP Address(Static) – REQUIRED • Network Mask • Default Network Gateway IP Address • DNS Server IP Addresses • Mail Relay Servers – OPTIONAL • NTP Servers – STRONGLY RECOMMENDED • DNS Entry Name for the Stratusphere™ HUB Address -‐-‐ STRONGLY RECOMMENDED


Depending on size, the appliance will need to be configured with minimum 4GB of RAM, 2vCPUs and a 20-‐30GB virtual disk after the import.

PROFILEUNITY INSTALLATION AND SETUP Once you have downloaded, you may begin the installation/setup of ProfileUnity. The following section outlines the required steps for installation of the Standalone version (1) and for the Virtual Appliance version (2) of the product.

1. ProfileUnity Standalone – Launch the executable you downloaded and follow the prompts. What you are installing is the ProfileUnity management console which can be on the administrator’s PC, an alternate Windows desktop, or a Windows Server. The console is used to manage ProfileUnity; it writes and saves configuration files used by ProfileUnity’s small local network hosted agent. The machine that this is installed to does not need to be on 24/7 because ProfileUnity can run in production without the console being present. The installer will be implementing a very lightweight database called PostgreSQL, and a lightweight web server. These are used for configuration only, your organization’s user data and profiles are not stored in the SQL database and they do not need to be live in the production environment. To implement the Client (agent) for all desktops, you’ll also be locating a few files on your network to the Netlogin file share of your domain controller. This is not a mandatory location but does help ensure security, scalability to tens of thousands of users, and no single point of failure. Refer to 1.1.2 in the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation web page for a step-‐by-‐step guide if needed.

Note: The default Password for the ProfileUnity web console is UN: profileUnity PW: admin

2. Liquidware Labs Stratusphere Virtual Appliance – Launch the virtual appliance, and login to ProfileUnity (See Section 1.2.2 in the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation Web page if needed.) The console is used to manage ProfileUnity; it writes and saves configuration files used by ProfileUnity’s small local network hosted agent. Refer to Section 1.2.3 in the full ProfileUnity Help Manual to run the installer which will copy the ProfileUnity agent and some lightweight needed files to the production environment file share. These will be copied to the Netlogin file share of your domain controller. This is not a mandatory location but does help ensure security, scalability to tens of thousands of users, and no single point of failure.


PROFILEUNITY MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION To configure the production environment and the console, ProfileUnity has an easy-‐to-‐use Guided Configuration Wizard. You will see the Guided Configuration option upon opening the console for the first time. If you miss the prompt, you may enter a guided configuration at any time in the “Configuration Management” portion of the console as see in the screen below (Figure 2).

Please refer to Section 2 in the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation webpage for further detail.

The Guided Configuration wizard is a step-‐by-‐step wizard that automatically configures ProfileUnity for Profile Portability, Folder Redirection and migration of certain folders (if desired), and optionally turns on and configures FlexApp. The Guided Configuration will quickly walk you through these tasks.

The Guided Configuration wizard will begin by ensuring that you have completed the following:

1. Computer Configuration – you will assign a startup.vbs as a startup script. An example is given in the Guided Configuration. If needed, see Section 3 of the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation web page for further detail.

2. User Configuration -‐ 1) Configure ADM template settings and 2) Assign logoff.vbs as a logoff script. An example is given in the Guided Configuration. If needed, see Section 3 of the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation web page for further detail.

3. License Group-‐ You will create a license group for users that will execute ProfileUnity. By default, this license group needs to be members of a security group named ProfileUnity. Nested groups are not supported and the number of users in the ProfileUnity group cannot exceed your license count. If needed, see Section 3 of the full for further detail.

Next you will set a Home Directory Path – this will set profiles and folder redirection to point to users’ home directory network path. This is an existing server in your environment where users can save files. An example path is provided in the product. If testing FlexApp, a VHD will also be provisioned in this path to store user installed applications.

FIGURE 2


Profile Portability and Folder Redirection are two popular functions in ProfileUnity. You will also be given the option to configure FlexApp (user installed applications for VDI environments). Currently FlexApp should only be configured for non-‐persistent desktop environments such as VMware View, Citrix XenDesktop, or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. The wizard will automatically configure these features with minimal input from you.

The final step of the Guided Configuration will instruct you to “Save” the ProfileUnity configuration (an .ini file) to your production/test environment where the ProfileUnity agent is also hosted.

If you followed these steps, along with the any additional detailed instructions you may need from the full ProfileUnity Help Manual, you will have installed ProfileUnity successfully and have your applied User Configuration group ready to use the product’s most popular feature sets.

EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS The following section on Evaluation will assist you in exploring and using some of the major features in ProfileUnity with FlexApp Technology including:

• Profile Portability • Folder Redirection • Data Migration • Context Aware Filters • Drive Mapping • Printer Assignment • FlexApp – User Installed Applications (OPTIONAL)

PROFILE PORTABILITY & FOLDER REDIRECTION WITH USER AUTHORED DATA MIGRATION

These options were configured for you (if you chose them specifically) during the Guided Configuration. Login to a user account that ideally already has a user profile and that has some data saved in the Desktop and/or My Documents folder. This user and machine need to have been included in the ProfileUnity group when the AD GPO’s were configured above.

1) Note that ProfileUnity should run at login. You will see a ProfileUnity splash screen at login and a progress bar. Depending on the profile size, ProfileUnity may run for as little as a few seconds or may take longer. If this process takes too long, then profiles can be tuned for optimal performance later.

2) Make some changes to your desktop environment. For example, change the color of the desktop, add a word to your spellchecker dictionary in your Word Processing software, or add a file to the desktop, etc.

3) Logoff: ProfileUnity will run at logoff, it is backing up your changes and saving them in a compressed state to the network.

4) Login to another desktop in the domain as the same user. Ideally log into a different version operating system (i.e. switch from Windows® 7 to Windows XP or vice versa). ProfileUnity will run at login and, again, you will see a splash screen indicating that the software is restoring your profile to the new machine and even dynamically accounting for differences in operating system versions. Test that the settings that you modified in the previous Windows session (in step 2 above) are restored in the new Windows session.


5) Browse to your user account’s network file storage, to the same location that you identified in the guided configuration above. Note that a _ProfileUnity folder should have been automatically created. This folder contains your profile in a compressed state (with an incredible ratio of up to 50:1), (see Figure 3). This is not the profile in use; it is the profile in storage that is updated at logoff. The profile in use is in the native locations on your active Windows session.

FIGURE3

6) Check your user account’s network file storage path to find the redirected My Documents and Desktop folder (the default setting in the Guided Configuration). It is OK if all data is not yet in these folders, it will continue to transfer from the original legacy machine until it is complete. This transfer is handled by a special “Anytime Migration” feature of ProfileUnity that allows this process to happen in the background while users retain the ability to work on their desktops. Once all data has been migrated for these two folders, Folder Redirection will be turned on at the next login.


CONTEXT AWARE FILTERS APPLIED TO CUSTOM DRIVE MAPPINGS Context aware filters greatly control how features and configurations are applied within ProfileUnity. You can apply a configuration based on hundreds of criteria with a single filter or by “stacking” filters. For example, in a hospital setting, you may want users to be able to print on those printers near them. To accomplish this task, you can assign printer(s) based on the subnet, OU, or Computer Name that corresponds to where the Windows session is physically located.

The following section describes how to write a filter and configure it for a drive mapping.

CREATING CONTEXT AWARE FILTERS Login to the ProfileUnity Admin Console and choose the Filter Management tab from the menu bar at top. (See Figure 4). Writing a filter is as simple as filling in the boxes and selecting your options on the screen. Make sure that you apply the filter you have written to a Windows machine you can subsequently login to, so that you can test this feature. Additional details about writing filters are available in Section 4 of the full ProfileUnity Help Manual on the Liquidware Labs Support Documentation web page. Choose “Save” when you have written a filter based on values in your environment.

FIGURE 4

NOTE: Intuitive and detailed Help is available throughout the product by clicking on the question mark icon while in any particular configuration screen.


APPLYING FILTER TO CUSTOM DRIVE MAPPING Login to the ProfileUnity Administrative Console and choose Configuration Management from across the top. Click on “Edit” for the configuration that you’re using (Figure 5).

FIGURE 5

Choose the “Drive Mapping” configuration module. Choose “Add” (Figure 6).

FIGURE 6

Now, configure a drive mapping using your new custom filter (See Figure 7). Choose “OK” then choose “Save.”

FIGURE 7


Choose “Download” and save the ProfileUnity configuration (an .ini file) to your production/test environment where the ProfileUnity agent is also hosted, by default this should be your Netlogin file share (see Figure8).

PLEASE NOTE: This is an easily overlooked step for new users.

FIGURE 8

As a final step, test this filter and the Drive Mapping by logging in to the Windows machine/user to which you originally applied the filter, when first creating it. After ProfileUnity runs at login, navigate to Windows Explorer and verify that the drive mapped for the user when the filter was fulfilled.

PRINTER MANAGEMENT Login to the ProfileUnity Administrative Console. Choose Configuration Management (1) from the top menu bar. Click on “Edit “for the configuration that you’re using.

Choose the “Printers” configuration module. Choose “Add” (Figure 9).

FIGURE 9


Configure the fields in the window for a known network printer by filling in the necessary information as indicated in the screen below (Figure 10). You can apply a unique filter to apply the printer to a limited group of users or user, or use “Global Settings” to apply the printer to all ProfileUnity users and machines.

FIGURE 10

Choose “OK,” and then choose “Save” (Figure 11).

FIGURE 11

NOTE: ProfileUnity and your Windows network supports Windows “Point-‐ and-‐Print” driver technology so no drivers are needed for most popular printers that conform to this standard.

Choose “Download” and save the ProfileUnity configuration (an .ini file) to your production/test environment where the ProfileUnity agent is also hosted, by default this should be your Netlogin file share. (Figure 12) PLEASE NOTE: This is an easily overlooked step for new users.

FIGURE12

Login to a machine/user name in the filter group where the printer was applied and test the printer mapping per the configuration.


FLEXAPP TECHNOLOGY FlexApp Technology enables administrative level users to install their own applications in non-‐ persistent VDI environments. UAC should be disabled for these users. The feature can be applied to a specific trusted group of users or subset of users by leveraging a context aware filter in ProfileUnity.

FlexApp was configured for you (if you originally chose this feature) in the Guided Configuration. It was applied to all users and machines by using the Global Settings filter. You may modify these settings for your specific needs later (for instance to only run this feature for non-‐persistent VDI users) but we suggest you leave them in place for initial testing.

Login to a non-‐persistent machine in the filtered group where ProfileUnity applied FlexApp. Install any application from any source, such as Firefox or PK Zip. Logout and log back in into a new non-‐persistent VDI machine. The applications should be restored quickly right after login. Test the application to see if it performs normally.


EXCLUSIVE FEATURES FOR VMWARE THINAPP ProfileUnity is a comprehensive user environment management solution. Benefits of use include one unified user profile (for both Windows XP and Win 7), central management of user settings, and persistency of user persona and settings even in non-‐persistent VDI environments. VMware ThinApp is made even more powerful and flexible when matched with ProfileUnity’s ThinApp features. The features collectively provide for full change management for ThinApp applications with innovative deployment and inventory functionality.

THINAPP DEPLOYMENT ProfileUnity’s ThinApp module has innovative ThinApp Deployment not found in any other user virtualization management solution. Centrally manage ThinApp applications for all users across the enterprise. Deployment functionality includes:

• Online Mode Deployment: centrally distribute access and create local start menu items to network based ThinApp applications for online desktops.

• Offline Mode Deployment: cache ThinApp applications and automatically create start menu items for offline desktops/laptops.

• Remove: delete access to online and offline ThinApp applications and remove cached versions

THINAPP INVENTORY License compliance of virtualized applications is of concern to many organizations. ProfileUnity gives you a powerful yet easy to use capability to know which users have been provisioned access and cached copies of ThinApp applications. ProfileUnity can instantly generate an on-‐demand per-‐user inventory of all ThinApp applications across the enterprise. This information can be compared to software license agreements to ensure compliance.

ADDITIONAL THINAPP BENEFITS

Manage ThinApp Sandboxes

By leveraging ProfileUnity’s profile portability features, the solution can persist ThinApp sandboxes even in non-‐persistent environments. Users will enjoy seamless access to application-‐level customizations such as spell checkers, dictionaries, email signatures and layouts available to users no matter where they access their application.

Re-‐direct “Save as” and Common Folders

Through ProfileUnity’s Folder Redirection module, administrators can enforce best practice document storage policies. Automatically re-‐map desktop default "save as" and "look in" locations ensuring storage on disaster recovery protected servers and reducing user profile bloat issues. The solution can also mark redirected folders with hidden attributes to avoid users improperly storing mission critical documents to local drives.

FURTHER EVALUATION There are more than a dozen other core features that you can leverage by writing or editing a configuration for your organization’s custom requirements. Refer to the full ProfileUnity Help Manual located on the Liquidware


Labs Support Documentation web page for advanced filter settings, numerous additional features and troubleshooting.
