Local profile sizes

Post by Brian » Tue Oct 04, 2016 1:37 pm

Hello -

Does anyone have any tips for reducing a profile size when a user is logged into the server? I am currently running windows 2008R2 Server. When a TSPLUS user logs in, HTML5 and only 1 published app, their profile grows from 3mb to anywhere between 37-70MB. On average I would estimate 38mb, but have seen as high as 70MB profile. Once the users log out, their profile goes back to approx 3MB in size.

does anyone know if there's any group policy logging settings or something simular that I can turn off to reduce the profile sizes?

Not a huge deal, but when I have 20-30 users logged in, I have plent of disk space. but once I get up over 100 users, I start to get disk space alerts. Any suggestions are welcome :)

Thanks!

Click Start - type 'Profile' in search - click Configure advanced user profile properties. Mine range from 37MB - 70MB

That's very weird. I've never heard of that before. It sounds like it's something is launching and using the temporary folder of the user until logoff.
When a user is logged out, you should list all files (with sizes) of the profile - and then do the same when the user is logged in. Compare that.
You can list all files/folders by open cmd.exe and type: DIR C:\Users\USERNAME-FOLDER /S

Hi Hansen thanks for the response. I have a mix of 2 issues going on:

The first IE issue I can confirm it works. I have used it on previous servers - forgot about it on this new one :oops:

The second issue, Adobe Temp files issue, still looking into that. But I believe I found these 2 to be the culprit!
