The user was running an Analyze Logon Duration script against two different VDI environments but was receiving an error message relating to the execution policy not being set correctly with the W2K12 PVS. Modifying the GPO was explored but it was ultimately discovered that the script was incorrectly signed because of a space being added at the end of the file. Suggestions were made to double-check scripts if modified by colleagues. ControlUp SBAs and an update to W2K19 were also mentioned.

Syncing Between AD and ControlUp
A user asked about putting in place a sync between AD and ControlUp and wondered what the folderpath attribute should look like in their case. The universal sync script is the replacement for the CVAD script, and should be used for EUC. It was suggested to add an introductory section comparing the AD Sync and EUC Sync to the documentation, which the team is now doing. The link in the EUC Sync documentation was removed due to being deprecated. The updated documents can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs.
