UPHClean v2.0 beta

1631?

AndreaG — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:22:19 GMT

Hi, thanks for the x64 update! Seems working fine on my Citrix machines.

But I have several 1631 errors like this: Access to z:\Documents and Settings\user\filename failed after updating the security descriptor of the file.

Could you tell us if it is an expected behaviour? Since it seems to me it is working correctly, profiles are locally removed.

Great comment about event 1631 -- I've created a blog post to explain what they mean and what to do about them.

UPHClean (user profile hive clean) finally has a website on the internet.

Check out the site here to grab the new UPHClean 2.0 beta bits and learn more about the inner workings of the program. Anyone that has ever dealt with terminal services and/or Citrix has probably used this wonderful program on their Windows 2000/2003

We tested UPHClean 2.0 32bit but it was causing our servers to crash so we've had to abort.

I suspect it was a conflict with SAV which is causing our profiles to lock.

Robin - when will a non-crashing version be released?

Thanks

Event ID 1631

The attributes on the file ntuser.pol causes UPHC to generate event 1631 because it cannot update the security descriptor of the file. If you monitor "C:\Documents and Setttings\" with filemon, you will see that ntuser.pol is renamed to prf*.tmp during the profile synchronization process.

If you remove the attributes on the file with "attrib -r -h -s", the error is not written to the event long for 1 logon and logoff synchronization.
