Hi Michael, Make sure that appplication data is not being "folder redirected"? Regards, Michel. On 12/12/06, Michael Boggan <mboggan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
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.

Also as a hunch I'd check your AV.

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.
