It would appear that pnagent is constantly writing to this folder.  Here is a 
sample of what filemon returned.  Any idea what this is?  This is just a very 
small sample from a few seconds of data.  PNAgent appears to be hammering the 
disk.

I’d try running filemon to determine what task is causing the I/O. Also as a 
hunch I’d check your AV.

We are in the process of doing a proof of concept with PS4 and new hardware, 
etc.  We have 3 PS4 servers built.  1 as the DC, 1 as a published desktop 
server and 1 as the published applications server.  Users login to a published 
desktop and get there icons via the PNAgent running for each desktop.  The 
applications are all published from the 3rd server.  We have roaming profiles 
and the desktop and application data folders are mapped to individual folders 
on the network so that they follow them around.   We are having problems with 
disk writes on the desktop server.  For some reason the disk I/O is going crazy 
on that server alone.  SO much so that the server lags tremendously.  ANy have 
any idea why this might be happening?  If anyone knows of a way to determine 
what is actually being written too, that would help as well.  We have tried 
NetIQ and other monitors but cannot find anything that tells us what is 
actually being written too on the disk.Thanks,Michael Boggan
