App taking long to logoff

G

Gavin

Hope someone can help, I have an application that is running on TS on a Win
2003 Server box. Whenever the users exit the application it takes several
minutes for the session to close. I have checked the event logs and there is
nothing there. When I login to the server without running the application I
have no problems logging off. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing
this?

Thanks
Gavin...

What application is this?

I have seen this happen when you run application A, which in the
background starts application B, but forgets to close application B
when app A is closed. In my case, a 3rd party application started
Acrobat Reader, but never closed it. It then takes 5 minutes before
Acrobat dies and the session logs off.

Check in Task Manager on the server which processes are running in
the session before, during and after you have run application A.

I have checked the event logs and there is nothing showing up, this is a
custom app that does not start any other apps, I have just moved this to a
new server and I was not having this problem on the old one?

Any ideas?

Thanks

This wouldn't show in the EventLog. Do you see any extra process in
Task Manager? Is this a 16-bit application?

I will monitor the processes to see if there is something else running... it
is a 32bit app..
