Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\FS Logix\Profile Containers Description
[ENABLED BY DEFAULT] NOTE: Once this policy is Enabled or Disabled, setting it back to Not Configured has NO EFFECT. VHD(x)s will be dynamically allocated. VHD(x) file size will grow as data is added to the VHD(x). If disabled, VHD(x)s that are auto-created will be fully allocated. Registry Entry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\IsDynamic Type: DWORD Values: 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled
