Et must for terminalserver administratorer?

Jeg fikk selvfølgelig en advarsel fra serveren om at harddisken var full og logget på serveren for å sjekke ut saken. Serveren hadde en operativsystemdisk på nære 30 GB og man skulle tro at default setting i Internett Explorer ville holde temporære internett filer under kontroll. Så var imidlertid ikke tilfelle. Med oppunder 100 brukere på serveren var det utelukket å foreta en manuell opprydding. I mitt søk etter mulige skripts eller andre løsninger kom jeg over følgende artikkel: 10 Tasty Terminal Server Tools (http://redmondmag.com/features/article.asp?EditorialsID=702). Her fikk jeg noen tips som jeg grep fatt i. Med utgangspunkt i artikkelen fant jeg et meget imponerende verktøy på webstedet Ctrl-AltDel. Under Resurser, Citrix / Ts Utilities fant jeg et utility program ICSweep. Dette programmet lastet jeg ned å testet på to servere forutfor en produksjonsmaskin. Programmet fjernet ca 15GB med temporære internettfiler. Etter dette stilte jeg på TS group policy slik at alle temporære filer ble slettet etter at bruker loget av. Default innstillinger på IE var ikke gode not til å holde unna. For de som eventuelt ønsker å benytte dette programmet, det tok nokså lang tid å komme i gjennom. I tilegg hadde jeg redirigert resultatet til en tekstfil. Det var i grunn en tålmodighetsprøve! Her er et udrag av brukerveiledningen.

ICSWEEP is a command-line utility to clear the Temporary Internet Files cache of ALL user profiles that are NOT in use when this command is executed. This utility was written for the purpose of allowing a SINGLE command to identify and clear Temporary Internet Files cache of ALL user profiles currently NOT in use. This tool could be simply run from the command line at any time, or added as a SCHEDULED TASK for regular cleaning of user profiles, reducing the overall size of a profile and saving disk space for locally based profiles.

ICSWEEP will only function when executed by a user with ADMIN rights to the profile directory.

Usage:

ICSweep [/?]

  /?   -   show this help file No other parameters are required by this program.

The program returns a running list of the processed profiles. To store the output run the following command: ICSWEEP.EXE>ICSWEEP.txt
