Hi, 

Not quite sure on issue # 1, but as for issue # 2. 

If you installed VMware tools on the virtualized terminal server, and if
you enabled the "shared folders feature", there is a specific file that
gets put under each user's profile which prevents user profiles from
clearing off the server correctly. That file = hgfs.dat. 

The following link details this issue and a suggested correction:

Hello-

Sorry for what I imagine is a very basic question. But I administer
(among other servers at a non-profit) only two Terminal Services servers
(Windows Server 2003) that are mostly "set and forget." So when problems
crop up, I don't have much experience to draw on.

Anyway, I recently migrated one of my TS servers to a virtual
environment (VMWare Infrastructure). Almost all went well. There are two
problems, though:

1.      When people log off the terminal server, their printers don't
delete. A lot of these printers, though  not all, are the Fallback
Printers.

2.      User's profiles are located on another server but are cached
locally on the terminal server. When the user exits, the cached profiles
are not being deleted. And then the next time the user logs onto the TS,
a new copy of the cached profile is created. Any particular user now has
many many cached profiles. 

Neither of these behaviors were exhibiting themselves before the
migration. As far as I can see, all the appropriate local policies and
permissions moved over in the migration. There's nothing in the Event
Logs.

Can anybody help me figure out what's going on?

Thanks,

Rob
