Windows Temp Folder

[Danp]

We are still battling with disk space on machines, a mix of user profiles taking up to 20gb at a time if I don't clear them out in time. But, now I am finding '000s (17500 on one machine, each around 5.1MB) of evtx files in Windows Temp folder, all starting AppXDeploymentServer_***************.evtx

 

According to this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh973484(v=vs.85).aspx it's related to store apps, and looking in the event viewer it shows errors around 3D Builder, Photos etc. But, how to do I stop these?

There's a GPO for that: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles > Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on system restart

Thank you. It's been in place plus the RM (shudder) 'solution' and neither have been working. I now use DelProf routine to clear them out

The reason neither solutions work MS or RM is because the profile itself is classed as being in use as it is flagged up for being older than x days therefore it defeats itself as the flag has a date stamp of recent so its not reached the x time for deletion.

 

I just use a batchfile similar to Delprof at shutdown to clear all the old profiles at set date and this works a treat.

 

P.S RM's solution just uses the MS solution anyway so would reflect the same issue that MS solution has so it would be MS(Shudder!) just in case you have any doubts about RM systems not functioning properly as most of the problems are Microsoft's in the first instance.

Here's an example.

Have you investigated the App deployment server events?

 

Check the error code/s?

 

As you state it looks like a specific app is not installing or cannot be found, have you logged a call with RM?

@bossman

 

Have you investigated the App deployment server events? - yes, just '000s listed, I cant decipher anything from it.

 

Check the error code/s? - mixed

 

As you state it looks like a specific app is not installing or cannot be found, have you logged a call with RM? - It's multiple Windows Store apps. No call logged, I like to try and investigate as much as I can before logging a call.

What Proxy do you use is it SW?

 

Could it be that permissions have been set in FSRM? Deny specific apps from installing?

 

Just throwing bits out there!

[Danp]

Yes, SW.

 

Not aware of any permissions set in FSRM, nothing new anyway. It's only been a more recent issue, mid Nov onwards. We servers and workstation builds at the end of summer.

[Danp]

Sorted, of sorts. RM have created a reg fragment to roll out to machines to turn off logging of these apps and I have batch cleaned up the temp folder on every machine on the network

[Danp]

Still not fixed.
