Question

Group Policy Processing Aborted

Asked by: bridgeassociates

Hi Guys,

I work for an IT company and lately I have been seeing the following errors on a lot of clients (from several different companies) PC/Laptops? It just seems strange how many have popped up in the last few weeks. Can anyone shed any light on these errors? Do you think it could possibly be a new virus causing them?

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      Userenv
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      1517
Date:            22/04/2008
Time:            15:18:40
User:            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:      MATTCNB001

Description:
Windows saved user DOMAIN\mattc registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

 This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

Details:

Overview
The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.

On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is not unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile unload problem.

To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.
