[gptalk] Re: Authentication

Others have responded here, but one thing I'll add is that mapping drives,
even remotely, should not really take that long. If that is where the
process is hanging up, then you might want to put some conditional testing
in your logon script that tests as to whether the user is in their home
site. This might involve putting an environment variable on the machines
that list their home site, and then testing whether the current AD site
matches that. The current site name is stored in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DynamicSiteName
 
Outside of that, I don't know of a way to stop logon scripts from running
with GP because they don't actually run as part of GP processing.

Thanks Bart for you feedback. A little more information. We do not use
roaming profiles. Is there a way I can get the login script to stop running
so the users are not trying to map drives from remote locations?

Hi, 
 
Logging on to a domain controller in another site shouldn't make a
difference in GPO processing times as they are in that local site also
(DC/sysvol). 
The gpo processing will check the version and will not apply unless there is
a difference. 
 
What i'm suspecting is that you draw the roaming profile from their "home
office" share over the wan. 
Also folder redirection to home folders on their "native" file server will
slow it down cosiderably. 
 
The only way to solve this is to deploy DFS based file shares for home
folders and profiles. 
 
Also make sure you son't delete local cached copies of their profile as this
will also force GPO settings to reapply completely. 

Vriendelijke groeten,

Good Morning, 

We have many people who travel to other offices as part of their jobs and
the logon experience when they get there is painfully slow. Is there a way
to set a policy so if a user authenticates to a domain controller away from
their "home office" that they will not receive any policies such as a logon
script or folder redirection.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

Joe
