About

About
VDI Profiler is a lightweight profile management solution designed specifically for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure environments. It gives IT teams centralized control over user settings so every session starts clean, consistent, and fast—without the complexity of traditional roaming profiles or heavy policy frameworks.
Automatically applies the right configuration at logon: drive mappings, printers, ODBC connections, registry keys, logon scripts, file associations, and more. Profiles stay lean, logon times drop, and session behavior becomes predictable across devices and sessions.
- Faster logons by eliminating unnecessary profile baggage
- Consistent desktop experience every time
- Simple, centralized console management
- No complex middleware, database or internet connection required
- Extremely low resource footprint (<10 MB RAM per user)
- Flat annual pricing with unlimited users
