Very Slow Logoff times

I have a terminal server running on windows server 2003 that on which it
takes around 10 minutes for a user to logoff. There is nothing reported in
the event log. I have set the server to have verbose messenging on logon and
logoff and it seems to hang at "Executing:
C"\windows\system32\wlnotify.dll..."

It then sits there for about 10 minutes, before it finishes logging off.

If you disconnect, and then reconnect later, it will still be in the process
of logging off.

I am rather stumped. Any help would be great.

How many printers do you redirect in the session? Check this:

828326 - It takes longer than you expect to log off from a Terminal
Services session in Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003

You can also turn on debug logging:

It doesn't seem to be related to the printers. Logoff times do not seem to
be affected if I diable printer mappings, or stop the spooler service.

I will try enabling the debug logging and see where I get with that next.
Thanks for that tip.

As suggested by Vera Noest, I enabled user enviroment debugging on the
terminal server. What I did specificlly is that I made the change in the
registry, and then logged on as myself. I then moved that log file, and
logged off.

what I noticed while it was logging off is that the userenv.log file was not
created until the very end of the 10 minute wait that it took to logoff from
the server. Below is what was included in the logfile after I was finished
logging off.

I am not finding anything usefull in this logfile, maybe someone else will.

The problem ended up being with the SMS client being installed. I am not
exactly sure on the details of what was wrong, but I know that removing the
sms client from the server fixed the problems with our logoff times.
