"MoveSecurityAttributes" registry subkey does not work in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

2012-05-14T02:30:00Z

KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2617058

INTRODUCTION

Consider the following scenario:

You have a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:
- Windows Vista
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 R2
You configure the value of the MoveSecurityAttributes registry subkey to 0 on the computer.

Note You can configure the MoveSecurityAttributes registry subkey in the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MoveSecurityAttributes

You move a folder from one location into a folder in another location on the same NTFS volume.

In this scenario, the folder and all files in it may contain some Access Control Entries (ACEs) associated with the previous location. After you perform the previous steps, the expected result is that the folder and all files in it only contain the ACEs associated with the new location. This behavior is known as "Copy File Semantics" and is enabled in Windows Server 2003 by using the previously mentioned registry subkey.

Long logon time when you establish an RD session to a Windows Server 2008 R2-based RD Session Host server if Printer Redirection is enabled

2012-05-14T02:25:30Z

KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2655998

INTRODUCTION

Consider the following
scenario:

You have a Windows Server 2008 R2-based Remote Desktop (RD) Session Host server in an Active Directory domain environment.
You apply the Printer Redirection Group Policy setting to RD sessions that connect to the server.
You repeatedly establish RD sessions to the server from a client computer that has multiple printers installed.

In this scenario, the logon time increases every time that you establish an RD connection. Additionally, the % Privileged Time count increases in the Svchost.exe process that hosts the User-mode Plug-and-Play Service (Umpnpmgr.dll) on the server. This behavior occurs every time that you log on, log off, or reestablish an RD session.

This behavior may cause performance issues such as slow boot, slow logon, system hangs, or failure to redirect printers and mapped drives.
