Introduction

In Chapter 3, Master Image Configuration and Tuning, we discussed how to optimize the virtual desktop component in order to standardize the operating system base image, which we are going to deploy in the future activities.

Now it is time to configure those components which are nearest to the user perspective, such as advanced profile techniques, plugin installations, and appearance configuration settings. These configurations will be more oriented toward tuning and optimization of the user experience, instead of the operations oriented to the installation and configuration of the desktop template, as explained in the previous chapter.

This was formerly known as user experience, the way in which an end user notices no difference between the use of a standard physical desktop and a virtual desktop deployed by Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) architecture.
