Last Thursday on August 31st, I had the honor of presenting at the inaugural Portland Citrix User Group Community (CUGC) Meetup, representing FSLogix and talking about the pains of deploying Windows 10 and Office 365. I was joined by Andy Tynes, their VP of Worldwide Sales, who presented the company overview and first couple slides. Below you will find a copy of my slide presentation from this meetup. Looking forward to presenting at many more CUGC meetups in the coming months and years! Enjoy.

The Technical Problem of O365 in VDI
You MUST have Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode to get the performance required
Behavior of .OST on WAN and LAN links:
All operations take longer
Write operations can take 4x longer than read operations
Outlook has slower performance than Exchange client
Timeouts on client operations
As a result, Cache Data (.OST), Personal Folders (.PST) and Personal Address Book (.PAB) on
a network share that are accessed remotely are also unsupported configurations.
