New Frame Stateless Driver Migration Phase 1: Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 Accounts
We previously announced the deployment of our new Frame stateless driver (OFS) to all Frame Accounts. This process is now complete, and we are ready to begin enabling the new driver in a phased approach.
The first Frame Accounts that will begin utilizing the new driver will be any non-persistent accounts using either a Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 base image (this is applicable across all Early Adopter, Standard, and Trailing deployment groups).
These accounts will be migrated to OFS on Monday, September 2, 2024. By default, only the Sandbox VM for each account will have OFS enabled. Production pool VMs will not be migrated to OFS until a Publish is run. Any new Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 non-persistent accounts created after September 2, 2024, will automatically utilize OFS.
Why Are We Doing This Migration?
The new OFS driver will be replacing our legacy stateless mechanism for non-persistent Windows VMs, bringing important security and performance enhancements.
