  1. \Windows\Servicing\Sessions - Log bloat?


    I have a server machine in a VM, running Server 2016. It's \Windows\Servicing\Sessions directory consists of a single Sessions.xml file of 750MB, and 700,000 random-number.xml files of size 8KB... for a total size of nearly *5GB*. Natrually, it takes FOREVER to even open this directory.They seem like log files. Are these files even necessary? Can I just delete them? If not, how do I go about trimming this mess down... cause Windows seems to have lost it's mind and it's bloating out the VM pretty badly.Thanks in advance!Frank.

    :)

  3. Shutdown or Log off in a Citrix Windows 10 VDI session

    Hi Community gurus,

    Hoping you could advise. During the outbreak, most of my teams are working from home and being offered a Windows 10 VDI remote login on Citrix server. In my organisation, there is a token limit and therefore we are not allowed to stay in the session
    for too long but only carry out time card logging routine which takes about 5 - 10 minutes depending on individual operations. People who have logged in for prolong period get reported to their mangers who then advise to shorten the session as much as they
    can.

    Some of them did get reported but mainly was because they did not disconnect the session properly, and still wondered how to disconnect the session properly without occupying the server resources.

    Luckily I have never been in the list, and helped myself a quick short which runs "shutdown.exe -s -f -t 0".

    This has run perfectly and my Manger did notice I was never in the reporting list and wondered how I did it.

    Therefore I shared with my team with this quick shortcut, however, one of my seniors suggested that it's betters to use shutdown.exe -l -f 0

    To me, his advice was to log off the session, instead of shutting down, but I wondered that in a shared virtual machine session(s), is there really difference on log off and shutdown as the shutdown command does not appear to shut the server down, but disconnecting
    my session so that others have more resources when needed.

    Would any one be able to advise?

    Thank you in advance.
