Fltmgr.sys – Pre Service Pack 3 Revision History for Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 2008)
23-Oct-2009 – 6.0.6002.22250 – Fltmgr.sys – x86/x64 – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975759 – An application or service that uses a file system filter driver may experience function failure on a computer that is running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008
Have you started to notice that C drive is getting a little full or do you just want to have a spring clean, well you may not realise it but when you installed Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 onto your Windows Vista or Windows 2008 Server that Microsoft very sensibly backed up all the old system file before replacing them with new ones.
Assuming that you have had Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed for sometime without issue it may be good to know that you might be able to reclaim some disk space by dumping these obsolete system files.
Simply launch an elevated Command Prompt by right clicking “Command Prompt” and selecting “Run as administrator”. Once you are in a command prompt simply paste in the following according to the Service Pack you are currently running:
Service Pack 1 you need to paste: VSP1CLN.EXE
Service Pack 2 you need to paste: Compcln.exe
Be patient with these commands they will need time to enumerate a large number of files and could take up to 60 minutes to complete. Once finished I would recommend a reboot.
With these commands we are telling the operating system to remove any of the superseded service pack files. If you do not have any files to remove it might be because someone else has already removed them or your computer/server may have already come with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 pre-installed/integrated.
I’ve put together another script that might be useful for monitoring how busy your Terminal Services Gateway is at various times of the day. This Powershell Script can be used with GFI Max Remote Management or SpiceWorks to easily identify busy servers.
$GETTSGWCC = Get-Counter ‘\Terminal Service Gateway\Current connections’
$TSGWCC = $GETTSGWCC.CounterSamples |Select-Object CookedValue
Write-Host You have $TSGWCC.CookedValue Current Connection\s to the Terminal Services Gateway
Feel free to edit the text part of the output (Last line), this could be reduced/simplified if required.
