Re: Event ID: 1517 Error VS Warning



If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

Hi,

You are looking for a specific answer to a general question. A 1517 event
is generic in nature, it does not indicate any one specific thing is
wrong, just that "something" is. Is it relevant to your shutdown issue?
Probably, as the system cannot shutdown until the user is logged off.
Have you tried running uphclean as is suggested?

**SYMPTOMS
• You take a long time to log off, and you receive the following
message: Saving settings….
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1517
**Description:
Windows saved user ComputerName\UserName registry while an application
or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used
by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded
when it is no longer in use. This is caused by services running as a
user account, try configuring the services to run in either the
LocalService or NetworkService account

**RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the Microsoft User Profile Hive Cleanup
Service (UPHClean). UPHClean monitors the computer while Windows is
unloading user profiles and forces resources that are open to close.
Therefore, the computer can unload and reconcile user profiles.
