When you run CCleaner on a terminal server it will only clean out the logged in (account running CCleaner) account.

What I need is to be able to clear out all terminal server users accounts as many gigabytes of temp and internet files build up on my terminal servers.

Guys....I'm sorry to say that the creators at Piriform cannot tailor to your every request, whim, and plea. It is a small company, and they try to keep the program small for the average user.

True, however we can and really should always direct people to the next best thing (actually the only option available) which is the winapp2.ini file add-on where they can make their own cleaning routines. They can even collaborate together in making and testing them if necessary.

A better option would be to just put CCleaner /auto in the logon script.

Anyway, administrative cleaning for multiple users at once is one of the more common feature requests, lots of little workarounds around the forum.

Mybe make CCleaner for U3 platform

So has anyone knocked up a Terminal Server winapp2.ini or are we still on the search for a terminal server compatible cleaner?

I use CCleaner on workstations under XP or 2000 and servers under SBS2003. Also on laptops that login under Terminal Services. Each account has it set with /AUTO in Startup so it fires up on logon. For accounts that remain on for long periods I have a scheduled task to run it now and then. This works perfectly. The laptops have CCleaner for local users accounts and the T/S accounts on the server run their own which starts at login. I'm not sure I understand your problem as you stated it.



Something I would like to see is a feature that automatically monitors for new accounts and includes a settable list of folders like Temp and Temporary Internet Files under the Local Settings for each new account. This would avoid the task of adding these to each computer's copy of CCleaner since a user or new user could login on any computer causing the addition of their account on the PC at any time. An automatic Include list function to look for and include any new folders based on a definable criteria would be a huge time saver in a large or large turn over system with users coming and going.

Deleted users accounts are not an issue if left on the include list.
