WEM and Pinned Apps on Server 2016 only works at 2. Login

[Uwe Meyer]

Hi,

we use wem (1811) and the latest Windows Server 2016 Version. 

 

Citrix PorfileManagement and Folderedirection are configured via Grouppolicies.

The Startmenu was not redirected.

 

I have problems with the pinned Apps. In WEM i have configured some Applications with:

- Shortcut to Dekstop 

- Pinned App to Startmenu

- Create Entry in Startmenu

 

All works, but the pinned apps are not there. When i logoff and login again, all Pinned Apps are created now.

 

I already have set the following:

Exclusion list - files:  AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\vedatamodel.edb

 

Folders to mirror:     AppData\Local\TileDataLayer  and AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Caches

 

But always the same Problem.

 

Does anyone know the problem?

 

Regards

Uwe

pinning apps to the start menu is an inconsistent mess when you do it with WEM. I suggest using the Microsoft path instead
