machine debug manager service locking registry key preventing profile sync

I recently added a machine with Visual Studio.NET 2003 on a Win2k sp4 SERVER
machine and am having problems with roaming profiles. Apparently the
Machine Debug Manager (mdm.exe) service is holding on to a registry key
during shutdown and restart and prevents the roaming profile from
synchronizing.

I temporarily fixed it with a logoff script that stops this service on
logoff, but I'd like to see if there's a better way to fix it.

The event log shows:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 10/14/2003
Time: 6:11:35 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTE M
Computer: THECOMPUTERNAME
Description:
Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile,
your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied. , Build number ((2195)).

Richard,

Have you had any luck with this? I'm pretty certain this is the problem
because when I shut down the service manually, it enabled the roaming
profile to sync. I had previously tried no less than about 15 other cause
to this error and to no avail. A list of solutions was posted somewhere on
the newsgroups.

Hi, I reported this to Microsoft over a year ago, but so far have not seen anything in the KB. Has anyone experienced slow logoff after installing Visual Studio.NET 2002 or 2003 on Win2000? If so, it's almost certainly caused by the "Machine Debug Manager" service holding a registry key open. Not only will it cause slow log off, but could also prevent settings being saved to the user profile.
