I encountered an issue after we build XenDesktop 7.6 Desktop OS Pooled (Random) and (Static) VDI Desktop. Users complained about slow performance. I searched for best practice and thanks alot to Terry, i applied the following settings in our GPO and it worked wonders.
By default, performance options of Windows 7 is best appearance.
However, domain users cannot modify the performance settings. I should assign the Group Policy to modify performance options for all users.
1. At Domain Controller, log in as Domain Administrator.
2. Launch "Group Policy Management".
3. Right-click a group policy which is assigned to the users, select "Edit".
4. Expand "User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization".
5. At right pane, double-click "Load a specific theme".
6. Select "Enabled".
7. Under "Path to theme file", type "%Systemroot%\Resources\Ease of Access Themes\basic.theme".
8. Click "OK".
9. At left pane, expand "Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry".
10. Right-click "Registry", select "Registry Item".
11. Next to "Action", select "Update".
12. Next to "Hive", select "HKEY_CURRENT_USER".
13. Next to "Key Path", type "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects".
14. Under "Value name", type "VisualFXSetting".
15. Next to "Value type", select "REG_DWORD".
16. Next to "Value data", type "2".
17. Click "OK".
18. Close "Group Policy Management Editor".
As a result, when a domain user logs in the Windows, the user will be assigned best performance setting of performance options.
Remark: "Windows 7 basic theme" will be applied to a domain user who first logs in.
Remark: If the "Load a specific theme" setting is not applied correctly on a computer, please read the following web site and install the Hotfix.
The "Load a specific theme" Group Policy setting is not applied correctly on a computer that is running Windows or Windows Server 2008 R2
