We discovered that the Visual Studio 2012 Test runner always generating IntelliTrace files and the results are that our servers run out of disk space.

It happens when we use VSTest to run the unit tests and if the unit test calls an executable it will always create IntelliTrace files. It doesn't matter what version of Visual Studio (Premium or Ultimate) is installed.

I didn't find a way to disable IntelliTrace by using a runconfig file.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

To reproduce the issue I've attached a zip file that contains a solution.
Run the batch file ExecuteTests.bat. The batch file will call the vstest.console.exe to run the unit test.

Windows 8

In the folder C:\Windows\temp you can find the intellitrace file.

When running the batch file the Visual studio 2012 test runner will run a unit test. The unit test will call a console application.
