Re: Slow Logoff

Rich, here's why:
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

But that is hardly Slawrie's problem.
Slawrie, can you post which OS and SP your server is running? These
kind of issues are often very different in W2K and 2003.
Have you checked the EventLog on the server for any warnings or
errors?
Have you checked in Terminal Services Manager what is happening in
the user sessions when they logoff? Which processes are running?
What exactly do the users experience? Do they see the "Windows is
saving your profile..." for an extremely long time, or another
dialog box, or....?
And how long is extremely? Seconds? Minutes? How many?
Are users connecting with the full rdp client, or with the
webclient?

I would enable verbose logging of the user environment to see what
is happening.

This may be your problem.

I learned from an earlier post that Terminal Servers do not
complete their login until after one minute. If you logoff
right after logging on, it will take a minute to logoff. If you
wait one minute before logging off, the logoff will be
immediate. Most people will never experience the slow logoff
if this is the reason.

I never learned why. :-(

I have a terminal server that is using local profiles and I have
installed
UPH Clean. Users are having extremely long logoff times.
Everything else on
the server runs extremely well. Any suggestions.
