SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4, Terminal Server Edition, a user may receive an "access denied" error message when attempting to gain access to the %SystemRoot%\Temp\ folder (where   is the session ID assigned to the user).



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when a user improperly quits a Terminal Server session; the %SystemRoot%\Temp\ folder is not properly deleted.

When a second user logs on and receives the session number used by the first user, the second user does not have the correct permissions to the %SystemRoot%\Temp\ folder.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, delete the first user's %SystemRoot%\Temp\ folder, or view the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

234029 Err Msg: Temp Directory Not Accessible After Applying TSE SP4



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4, Terminal Server Edition.
