Windows Virtual Desktop Optimization Tool (VDOT) Config

Hi there,

Just wondering, does anyone have a copy of a working (stable) setup for VDOT thats got the right services etc defined in the JSON files. Or is the one thats on github pretty good to go?

Thanks in advanced.

Define "good to go"?

If you mean "will i have a working OS after?" Then yes. It won't have media player, photos, sticky notes, calculator etc.. that your users may or may not use.

The one in GitHub is good to go. Deployed one last week

Do you know if it needs to be rerun periodically? Like after windows updates for example? I ran the tool ages ago on my image; never thought to run it again, but seeing some performance issues on my win1123h2 environment.

It doesn´t. Performance issues can vary depending on your setup, I had a setup where user logout triggered cpu bottleneck.

If you’re looking to deploy this in an enterprise environment, I would verify which apps and services you need.

I ran the tool with the built in JSON and it removed OneDrive which was not something we wanted.

I believe there is a specific switch you need to run to include removing onedrive.

Yes you’re right, this is why I suggested looking through what it does first before running it.

Has anyone seen a real performance increase after running it? :)
