WMI Query and MS User Profile Disks

vhafdal over 8 years ago

Hi,

We are experiancing some issues with a new Remote Desktop Enviorment using user profile disks.

UPD = User Profile Disk

Some times when a user logs off his UDP does not get detatched so when he logs back in the UPD is in use so it does not get attached on another server

So why am I writing here ?

because the more I research the more it point to Solarwinds and WMI !

Any idea why WMI queries would be looking into C:\users\<UserName> for users

and locking disk detach ?

The pattern is Solarwinds is pulling data at the same time a user logs off and there for the UPD does not get detached !

I suspect that Solar is is pulling the disks with WMI and this is the result.....

any idea how to fix/bypass ?

Best regards,
Valdi Hafdal

Is it possible you have a Directory Size or File Count Monitor applied to the node?

Hi there is one monitor for Directory Size but it´s looking at a specific directory
Here are the other monitors applied
The Powershell´s are checking processes
and one checking WMI setting
Get-WmiObject -Query "Select SessionBrokerDrainMode From Win32_TerminalServiceSetting" -Namespace "root\CIMV2\terminalservices"

I would recommend disabling the Directory Size Monitor to see if that resolves your issue. The way WMI allows things like Directory Size, File Count, etc. is horribly inefficient and not limited solely to the path/files specified. Those filters are simply applied to the final results. This is the nature of Microsoft's implementation of WMI, and not in any way specific to SAM.
