VHD Name Match (Microsoft FSLogix Group Policy)

What it does

NOTE: Once this policy is Enabled, only Disable will remove the registry value. Enabled to Not Configured will have NO EFFECT. Specifies a string pattern used when matching a users Profile container.

FSLogix will use the VHDLocations or CCDLocations as the location where to search and this setting defines what to search. NOTE: When using this configuration setting, be sure the VHDNamePattern value matches this setting. Registry Entry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\VHDNameMatch Type: REG_SZ
