We are having PC's in our enterprise seem to lock up but what is happening is the Multi-User Cleanup Service is running. Does anyone know how to disable this? I can't find references to this service anywhere.

This is a Lotus Notes Problem.Upgrade to Notes 6.02 When the Notes 6.x Multi-user client is installed, the Multi-User Cleanup Service event is installed along with the client code. The Multi-user Cleanup Service event is an operating system (OS) event that is installed only with the Notes 6.x Multi-User client, and is specifically designed to be used by the client code along with the Roaming User feature in Notes/Domino 6.x. The event itself is automatically launched in the background at startup of the workstation, and is called into action if a user on that workstation has been selected by their Administrator to "roam" on that workstation and has selected one of the clean-up options that can be used with this specific type of client install. This event should not be called into action otherwise. It has been reported and reproduced within Lotus/ IBM Support that merely installing the multi-user client code will cause this OS event to erroneously log repeated instances of start/stop/run activities. A message to this effect can be written to the Event View Log every 5 seconds. The event may continue reporting activities for approximately 2 minutes at this pace. Also, additional reports and testing have shown that when the client requests the services of this event for a roaming user (because they are using a cleanup option other than the default action of "Do not clean up"), this will also cause the Event Log to fill with repeated messages of start/run activities by this event. This unfortunate effect can cause the log to fill unnecessarily and may cause operating system performance issues for the workstation due to the increasing size of this file.

Hi Marlow - I was curious and took a leap over to IBM Support. I think you may find the following link hewlpful http://www-1.ibm.com/support/search.wss?rs=0&q=Multi-User+Cleanup+Service+&apar=include&lang=en&loc=en-us&from=tss&ics=utf-8&cs=utf-8&cc=us If not, post back Regards
