Hi. We use Terminal Server and FS Logix. Windows Server 2019.

We do not use Outlook caching(Office 2019 pro)

It is written here that the index mode can lead to performance degradation: https://www.amorales.org/2019/11/deploying-fslogix-profile-containers.html

I also found a lot of recommendations here: https://virtualwarlock.net/how-to-install-the-fslogix-apps-agent/#FSLogix_Apps_agent_post-install_modifications

  • Search service is disabled by default. Should I turn it on?
    Am I going to have a performance problem? What should I do?
  • Or I will ask the question differently. Should I use this service or is it unnecessary with FSlogix?
  • If you need to enable, what settings are required?

    HI 47451047,

    1.Search service is disabled by default. Should I turn it on?

    "FSLogix search functionality is not compatible with Server 2019, Windows 10 multi-session, and subsequent multi-session operating systems with enhanced native search capabilities"
    From this, it seems the answer is no.

    2.Am I going to have a performance problem? What should I do?

    "Reindexing has significant impact on CPU when a user logs on. Typically, Search is disabled in environments where users roam between computers to avoid CPU impact."

    3."Should I use this service or is it unnecessary with Fslogix ?"
    We can keep disabling search service, using Fslogix search functionality for Single-user roaming search or Multi-user roaming search.

    There is a document for your reference.

    After turning on the search service, the terminal server services began to turn off after a day.

    I was getting a lot of errors

    Timeout (30,000 ms) while waiting for a transaction from the "SystemEventsBroker" service.
    Timeout (30,000 ms) while waiting for a transaction from the "BrokerInfrastructure" service.
    Timeout (30,000 ms) while waiting for a transaction from the "DcomLaunch" service.

    Can't figure out what the problem is.

    After disabling the search service, the terminal server works stably, without errors.
