With the Profile Management policy 'Enable Migration of Existing Profiles', at which stage will new roaming profiles migrate to the store?

• A. When policy is updated automatically in Active Directory after 90 minutes
• B. When new users initiate their first domain authentication
• C. When the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines configured with the new policy are restarted
• D. When the new users initiate their first logon to a Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machine

Answer: (D)

The setting enables moving existing profile data the first time a user logs in after the policy is in place. In Citrix Profile Management, migration happens during the logon process: as soon as a user starts a session on a VDA with the new policy, the system checks for an existing local or previous store profile and migrates that data into the new roaming profile store. This means the first logon to a VDA after the policy is applied is the moment when roaming profiles are migrated to the store.

So, the correct stage is when new users initiate their first logon to a VDA machine. It’s not tied to policy updates, domain authentication alone, or a VDA restart, but to the initial logon where the profile is loaded and moved into the configured store.
