I got some server that are now having over 7000 folder into systemRoot,
the folder owner are active directory users. Folder name are the following
FFZTDS7Q5IXCR6JY FH1KZET8L0DS7KZE FI20DS7KZET8L0DS etc. Every folder is
empty with 0 bytes size.

Can anyone help me?
 
This is not normal.

Have you scanned for spyware/malware/viruses?

By default, a normal ts user does not have permission to
create folders in systemroot. Are your users members of
Administrators? They should not be.

You may have a poorly written print driver or application
of some sort running on your server.

Try and figure out what program is creating the folders by
running filemon in a separate administrator session running
on your server. You can download filemon from
www.sysinternals.com.
