RE: Server 2003 SP1 Logoff delay due to winlogon.exe

Hi Vera,

Thanks for your reply. I've replied inline below:

KB 324446 is about the

lanman workstation and server reg keys

so I guess that's what the OP already tried. Can you confirm, gth?

You're spot on. We already do those tweaks in the lanman server and
workstation keys as per the KB article.


I know that you wrote that you have already applied all of the latest
hotfixes, but without knowing explicit KB articles, I'm going to
suggest them anyway:

I should have elaborated a little further on what I meant by all hotfixes -
I meant all public post-SP1 security updates and hotfixes that are available
from Microsoft via WSUS/Microsoft Update etc. I can give you a list of those
if that helps.

We also have the MS Private Hotfix KB 910362 applied to all servers to fix
the 0xAB STOP issue which we experienced when users either logged off
manually, or were forcefully logged off when reaching their idle session
timeout. We had also previously applied earlier revisions of this hotfix (KB
907242 etc) and the logoff delay issue existed too. It also exists without
that private hotfix.


post-SP1:
828326 - It takes longer than you expect to log off from a Terminal
Services session in Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828326


The only client printer mapping that we perform is done via Citrix and only
done for specific users. For the majority of our users (60-70%) they connect
via Thin Client devices with no printers attached and do not have any form of
client printer mapping enabled either for RDP or ICA connections. The only
printers that the majority of our users have is one printer which we map via
a kix script at login (the printer is dependant on the client name) and no
changes have been made to the script or the printer drivers between our
pre-SP1 build and our SP1 build.

901196 - A remote session does not end immediately on a computer that
is running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=901196

We have previously disabled the certificate auto-enrollment feature via
Group Policy as part of our SP1 environment rollout. I'd heard many stories
about that issue so luckily we had the chance to stop that issue before it
occured.

The AEExpress registry key is interesting - I have not yet tried that, so I
will add that registry key to some users and perform testing to see if that
makes any difference and will let you know how it goes.


By the way, you also write:
With Server 2003 SP2 and UPHClean 2.0 Beta, no unload events

which had me extremely confused, because there is no SP2 for 2003
yet! But after a while I understood that you probably mean Server
2003 R2, not SP2!

Sorry I should have re-phrased that statement! I did mean the SP2 for 2003,
but I was referring to the closed beta that is currently underway via
Connect. My main point was that the issue still seems to exist under SP2 -
but that isn't really relevant to this discussion.

I have not tried building a server image with Server 2003 R2 to see if the
issue exists, but to my knowledge R2 is simply Server 2003 SP1 as a base (CD
1) and then the optional R2 CD 2 which adds the R2 functionality if desired.

Thanks for your help so far though - I really appreciate it.
