I'm trying to tweak UEM as much as i can. One thing that I've noticed about the longer logins is that they are typically tied to processing the UEM imports for web browsers. I've read, alot. And come up with solutions that i'm currently testing, but figured i'd ask to see if anyone had a better idea.
Chrome - This was done mainly through a better UEM template that i found and tweaked a little:

Firefox - This one was a little more annoying. We have users who have 100MB+ profiles and are very defensive about losing their history or cookies. The random username made doing it through UEM a bit of a challenge, so i opted for locked configuration (still testing). This way i can ensure hardware acceleration is disabled, and limit cookies, disk cache and cleanup options.
IE 11 - Our IE profiles are typically small, however some users have thousands of cookies that result in a slow import. My plan for this is to age the cookies out, by splitting the cookies and webcache into a seperate template that will age out things older than 30 days.
And while i believe this will keep the cookies under control, i know this isn't pruning the webcachev01.dat file.
Anyone have another method or idea? Preferably without 3rd party software involved.
Thanks
