Lengthy Saving Settings

[KenP]

A year or so ago I connected 5/6 Win XP Pro PC's to a Win 2008 server. When
the PC's started and shutdown it took 10 - 15 mins for it to save settings,
close connections, etc.

I contacted Dell and a T/S individual gave me a DOS command to run on each
PC to flush something or something similar. I thought I wrote command down
somewhere but can't find. I also can't find Dell T/S individual name.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this command could have been? Any help
will be appreciated. TIA.

It could be a user profile that fails to unload on shutdown. Thus, shutdown
takes too long and sometimes hangs on "saving your setting.".

Try User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (UPHClean)

UPHClean should normally appear in the Event Viewer (Application) As Event
ID: 1001. Are there any errors in the Event Viewer.

When I had this problem, I saw an error in the Event Viewer and clicked on a
microsoft link there.

This happened on several PC's diff user names and apparently did not have
anything to do w/a particular user. I ran the command on each individual and
the problem cleared up the next reboot.

Thanks.

Maybe one of these:

Flush DNS

Click Start, Run, type CMD and click the [OK] button. Type each of the
following:

IPConfig /FlushDNS [Press Enter key]
ipconfig /release [Press Enter key]
ipconfig /renew [Press Enter key]
ipconfig /registerdns [Press Enter key]
