Acrobat (unified) Pro on a Windows 2019 RD Server - User profiles not deleted

Hi,

I am adressing an old problem where, when a user logs off from an RD server, his temprorary profile (mounted user profile disk in this case) in C:\Users\ isn't deleted because there are files stuck on the following path:

 

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Temp\71\acrobat_sbx

 

The files have a Z@XXXXX.tmp name, where the XXXXX are random characters.
The in the path 71 appears to be a random number.

 

I'm having difficulties in reproducing what exactly goes wrong and creates these files there.

It looks as if it doesn't occur with every PDF (we get a lot, being a printing company) and earlier documentation on this suggests it happens when a PDF is getting printed.

With administrator rights I can delete the orphaned profile folders, perhaps even automate the process, but I'd rather see that this didn't happen at all.


Searching the net results in articles that claim a certain update has solved the matter, only for it to arise again, like a phoenix from the ashes, after a while. I'm a bit stuck here, some help would be appreciated! 🙂

 

And as it is almost new year, all the best!

Hi DeToekomst,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Could you please share the screen recording for a better understanding? Did this start recently?

Share the Acrobat version currently in use. We will get this investigated. 

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi Meenakshi,

Thanks for reaching out!

There isn't really that much to share by screenshots. Directories remain stuck in the user profiles on the RD server in the following location: C:\Users\j.wijnen.001\AppData\Local\Temp\89\acrobat_sbx

Where the "89" appears to be a random number. That's the issue in a nutshell.

The version in use on our server is: Continuous Relase | version 2023.008.20458 (64bit release)
The problems occure right after the initial installation of the software in december. It took us a while to notice it.

 

Best regards,

 

Pascal
