Endpoint management and virtual desktop admins have the option to utilize Azure NetApp Files (ANF) as a storage location for FSLogix profile containers in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployments as of September 2026. This article provides a step-by-step guide for configuring ANF as the storage location, as well as necessary registry settings and verification methods.

FSLogix stores user profiles in VHD(X)-based containers, which are attached to session hosts upon login. These profiles persist user settings and data in non-persistent VDI and multi-session environments. By storing these containers on Azure NetApp Files, admins can benefit from low latency and high throughput.

The recommended workflow for implementing ANF as the profile storage location includes creating a NetApp account, capacity pool, Active Directory connection, and SMB volume in the Azure portal. Session hosts must then configure the registry settings to point to the ANF volume. An Active Directory connection is required before creating an SMB volume, with prerequisites including an Azure account with contributor or administrator permissions and a subnet delegated to ANF.

After completing the steps, admins should verify that the configuration works correctly. This includes checking the registry settings and testing the connection between the session hosts and ANF volume. With the correct setup, ANF can serve as a reliable and high-performance storage solution for FSLogix profile containers in Azure Virtual Desktop environments.

How I ended up with a 2.9 kB GZip reactive UI engine that runs from a static file

A few weeks ago, I was working on a side project. Nothing fancy — just a small dashboard with a form, a list, and a few buttons. The kind of thing that should take an afternoon.

A SaaS Landing Page Checklist for Your First Launch

Your first SaaS landing page should help a visitor answer five questions: Is this for me? What can I do with it? What does it look like? What will it cost? What happens when I click?

The browser-training speedup was a curve, not one headline number

The WebGPU path did not have one honest speedup number. Against multithreaded WASM SIMD, the measured improvement was 2.6 times on the Small preset, 6.8 times on Medium, 9.3 times on Large, and 12.1…

  • WebGPU path showed variable speedup across presets (2.6x Small, 6.8x Medium, 9.3x Large, 12.1x XL)
  • Loss drift varied from 1.1% to 2.5% across presets
  • Speedup linked to larger model sizes, dispatch overhead less significant in larger presets
