First thoughts (as I'm stuck on my own TS issue today): 1. Stand behind user 2. Smack user in back of head 3. Ask user: "What's the ticket number for your issue?" 4. Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary before Step 5 5. Choose the option to "Safely remove the Hardware and eject the media" from the Windows taskbar, OR Right-click on usb device in Windows Explorer window and choose to Eject it Please note that Step 2 can be replaced for hardware issues when parts won't separate: "Lift laptop screen over user's head and smack them with screen body to separate lcd screen from monitor body." I have to right-click and eject for proper removal in my vmware vdi every time (non-TS environment that didn't care if usb's were plugged in or not). You may only want to tell the user the last step until you resolve any delayed syncing. You may want to do some research on usb syncing in linux if the above steps aren't satisfactory. Brian Koch IT Dept City of Taylor, MI (734) 374-1514 or Ext. 7550 (internal use) Please have a ticket put in if you need an issue resolved.
