User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

Kurbli — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 09:11:11 GMT

A Calendar of Updates postja hívta fel a figyelmem erre a fontos, leginkább TS környezetben használható service update-re:

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.
On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is not unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile unload problem.
To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.

To begin, it’s important to clarify the terminology. As technologists familiar with Citrix products, Citrix terminology has become the de facto industry standard. What Citrix calls a “Published Application”, Microsoft refers to as a “Remote Program”. In this sense a Remote Program from the user’s perspective is an application running remotely on a server, but it means the same thing as Published Application. This article will refer to both terms.
Moving forward, after installing Windows Longhorn Server, you’ll naturally need to install Terminal Services. In Windows 2003 this is done via Add/Remove Windows Components, whereas in Windows Longhorn, Terminal Services is added as a “Role”. This is done by simply running the Add Roles Wizard in Server Manager. (Note that the Server Manager of Windows Longhorn is totally different from the Server Manager of the NT 4.0 days.)
When it comes time to “published applications” in Longhorn, Server Manager can also handle this functionality or you can use the Terminal Services Remote Programs (TSRP) MMC snap-in. When compared to Citrix’s Presentation Sever Java Console, Longhorn’s Server Manager provides a similar look and feel, however, when solely administering remote programs you may opt for the TSRP console.
