Slow Logoff Terminal Server

Symptom: when logging off a Terminal Server, it takes a long time to logoff.

Causes and possible solutions:

1. Check if there is any suspect software running when logoff. To do that, close all programs and then open Task Manager>Processes.
2. Check if there are any programs applying to the TS by Group Policies and logon script. The good example is SMS Advanced client that may cause the slow logoff.
3. If the TS users use roaming profile and large space sizes, that may cause the problem.
4. If there are many printers redirected in the TS session, it can may slow issue too. Check this link for more details - 828326 - It takes longer than you expect to log off from a Terminal Services session in Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828326 .
