Intelligent User Profile Management for Modern VDI

VDI Profiler was built by system integrators with decades of hands-on experience in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
It dramatically simplifies user configuration, reduces logon times, and gives administrators full control without complexity.

Automatic Configuration at Every Logon

Every critical user setting — applications, default printers, ODBC connections, registry keys, and drive mappings — is applied at logon. If a profile is lost or corrupted, the system automatically rebuilds the correct environment on the next login. This delivers a consistent, reliable desktop experience and significantly reduces support tickets.

Designed for Both VDI Deployment Models

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure typically uses two approaches: One-to-Many (session-based) and One-to-One (dedicated VMs). In both cases, consistent user configuration is essential for performance and cost control at scale. VDI Profiler handles both models cleanly from a single console.

Zero-Touch & Lightweight

Built for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and later, VDI Profiler requires minimal resources: under 50 MB of storage and less than 10 MB of RAM per user. It works seamlessly in Active Directory environments and delivers faster logons with fewer support issues.

Compatible with All Major VDI Platforms

Configure user workspaces from one central console across:

  • Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services
  • Windows 11 Pro with Remote Desktop Services
  • Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
  • Parallels RAS (RDSH and Windows 11)
  • Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware Horizon)
  • Azure Virtual Desktop
  • Windows VDI with add-ons such as RDPSoft, Terminalworks, or Thinstuff
