Tuning Terminal Server

We have been using a thin client environment for many of our administrative staff for the last year, and the system has run almost maintenence free, but the time comes when all things need a cleanup. One of the areas I was always curious about was a cleanup of the IE Temporary Items in multiple profiles. I did what any good IT guy does... I googled it. Here is a link to a script that will scrub all the IE Temporary Folders for all profiles on a computer. I have run it and can testify to it working.

After making this change, I modified my Group Policy to automatically empty the IE temporary folders every time a user logs off. If you are looking for this Group Policy Item, it can be found in Group Policy Management under:

Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Internet Control Panel->Advanced Page

Here you will see the Empty Temporary Internet Files folder... This will start preserving the space you have available on the drive because how clean our users are....

Other GP items to note:

I Enabled the Turn Off Crash Detection to knock down some of the annoying IE crashed on... messages when you log onto the Terminal Server as Admin.

I hope this helps someone else!
