Our Remote Desktop users and Redirected Printers.   Every login after the first they're getting what clearly appears to be the current + previous sessions multiple redirected printer sessions #s.  Very frustrating.  See attached image.

This really hints of the previous Login Sessions not closing properly, user profile logjam.

We're now focusing on the Event 1530 errors as a likely culprit.   This event occurs at every user Log off.  Below an a typical example of the event.  

We read numerous forum posts and tried many of the suggestions. 
1. Yes we have disabled Printer Redirection in Group Policy, same events occur
2. Yes we tried the UPHClean service which was popular back with W2K3 Terminal Server, it won't install on 2008 R2 and as its been replaced the MS User Profile Service.
3. No A/V software installed, no MSE or Defender.
4. User Profiles are at default location, on C:\Users\ of RDS Host.  Very simple new setup.

 

Do we need to research these Processes shown below individually?  Process 652 shown twice?  Or any other solution you can suggest allowing the Redirected Printers to refresh/clear user profiles properly.    How do we rid ourselves of Event 1530?

Any hints and comments would be greatly appreciated.

We think that the Event 1530 is the KEY problem:

Process 980 (\Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\svchost.exe) has opened key \REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-21-....\Printers\DevModePerUser

And in the above Process tree, we think it's the UmRdpService aka Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector. 

Why is the User Profile Service (W2K8R2 RDS server) failing?  The old UPH utility worked just fine for this annoyance on W2K3 TS.

This issue is a big problem for our company and the our traveling users of Remote Desktop.

The Event ID error is 1530,  Process 980 (\Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\svchost.exe) has opened key \REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-21-....\Printers\DevModePerUser

Anyone?   Does anyone have printer redirection working properly under RDS Windows 2008 R2?

This is a workaround for:  Event 1530 when every Remote Desktop user logs off.    This clears out some of the User Profile that the RDS Logoff was supposed to do automatically, but failed during the Event 1530.

Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim objShell, x
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.run("REG.EXE DELETE ""HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices"" /va /f")
objShell.run("REG.EXE DELETE ""HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts"" /va /f")
Set objShell = Nothing
WScript.quit

This workaround does not address the underlying cause, the Event 1530. Only relieves the mess with Redirected Printers.
Its all about the 1530 Events.   The Redirected Printers are just a victims. 
We're not sure if other areas are being hosed, none that I can obviously see. 
Possible infinite growth occurring in system Registry and/or User Profile Hives.

 

Any uppdates to this problem, we have a newly installed TS/Citrix XenApp 6.5 enviroment.  We get alot of errors and a lots of printerproblems.
