Transcript

Welcome to this module on configuring cloud cache. We will cover the following topics in this module: we'll complete a walk-through demo of configuring Cloud Cache with FSLogix for profile containers. Here we are logged into our Windows 10 session host where we will be configuring the environment for the profile container, but this time we are going to use Cloud Cache for SMB. As we did in the previous demo where we configured a standard profile container, we open up the registry and navigate to the same location. HKey Local Machine, then software, FSLogix and profiles.

If we right-click in the center window, select new and then DWORD 32-bit value. Enter the word Enabled for the value, and set the value data to 1, as we did before. And as we did before, we right-click in the center window again, select new, and this time we want to choose a multi-string value. This time however we call it CCDLocations and need to enter a different string that looks like this: type=smb,connectionString=// and your file path of your file store. This is using the SMB protocol and telling the system that the location for this Cloud cache provider is that specific location and folder. If you want to add multiple provider details, you simple separate them with a semicolon. You can configure Cloud Cache for Office Containers and for Azure Page Blob.
