Event Viewer warning-Registry in use during logoff

[eli]

I came across several warning items via the Event Viewer with the
description of : "Event Hive Saved."

The "warning"--Event ID1517-- reads as follows:

"Windows saved user %1 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.

1) How might I be able to ascertain pecifically which services were doing
this?

2) How would i go about configuring them not to run as a user account?


Thanks in advance:

What Detlev said.

If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

Hi Wesley:

Did as you recommeded here. Been using the UPHCleanup service for ~10 days
now. No more of those userenv error readings Reboots are faster too....Seems
it does exactly what you told me it would. Thanks for the suggestion.

Wanted to watch the event viewer a while before giving you this feedback.

Thanks again:

-Eli
