Hi,
We have created a Windows 7 managed desktop pool, using RDS 2012.
When we created the base image, we successfully installed RemoteFX, and saw fantastic video performance. We then sysprepped the machine, and then used the image to create the desktop pool.
The pool is created as expected, with the rollback snapshot on each machine. When the user logs into one of the managed desktops, they are presented with a prompt to 'Restart Now or Restart Later'. This appears to be a final requirement for the hardware install of the vGPU card. If the user presses Restart Later, the session continues as normal, and video performance is still fantastic.
The main issue with this, is that as the rollback snapshot is taken before this 'final reboot' takes place, this prompt is always presented to the users, every time they log into a desktop. We really need to remove this.
I have tried adding the following line to the Generalize phase of sysprep, which has made no difference:
<PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls>
I am sure that it is the RemoteFX vGPU that is requiring the reboot, as if I remove the vGPU from the base image, the 'Restart Now Restart Later' prompt is not presented.
Has anyone seen this before? This seems like a pretty standard use of RemoteFX in a managed desktop pool, so I'm hoping someone else has found a way around this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
