User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

Regarding the Userenv warning (Event ID 1517) when a user profile does not
unload.

1. Microsoft says to use the UPHClean service. Once installed is this a
one-time fix, or does it monitor at every log off?

2. Is there a downside to running the service? e.g. do I have to watch for
trouble shooting when it runs?

I use it on one of my pcs. It runs as a Service, and monitors every log
off. I have had no problems with it.

uphclean.exe will run all the time.

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.
