Ok - so then I end up with a bunch of orphaned idle priority processes?  I was 
hoping for more of a fix not a work around?

Hi Eric,

TScale has a new feature, Application Shaping that can help. Application 
Shaping cannot help you kill those processes, but it can help you eliminate the 
bad effects of those processes upon your servers. What you would do is define a 
rule in the Application Shaping feature that says that when iexplore.exe uses 
more than X% of CPU for N seconds, that TScale should reduce its Priority 
relative to other tasks on the server. What this will do is give only the 
resources to that orphaned instance of IE that would have otherwise gone to the 
idle process. So, it makes the Shaped application totally benign in terms of 
its impact upon the usability and performance of your server.

You can download an evaluation copy of TScale from our site (www.rtosoft.com). 
After you download the evaluation software you will need to send an email to 
sales@xxxxxxxxxx to request an evaluation key (the key will allow the 
evaluation copy of TScale to work as a full production product for 30 days). It 
will take you about 2 minutes to install TScale on your server and another 5 
minutes to set up the shaping rule for IE.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Cheers,

Anyone having issues with orphaned proccesses?

We have Win2K SP4, MF XPe FR3 and we are seeing processes left behind after 
users logoff, like an iexplore.exe running under a users context taking up 50% 
of the boxes CPU (dual proc system).  We cannot kill (kill -f, process 
explorer, at /interactive)  all fail with access denied - our only solution is 
to reboot the box.

Any suggestions would be apprecitiated.

Thanks,

Eric
