In general, I agree with you Ben. I do try to discourage outright product pitching on the list, or if you do pitch product, at least do it in response to someone specifically asking for product referrals and try to list all the products in the space, out of fairness. In this case, Alan's Policy Reporter tool is free and a good tool for parsing userenv logs. He didn't mention the free part, but that probably would have gone a long way towards making this sound less like a product pitch and more like an offer of help :-) Thanks, Darren -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of WATSON, BEN Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 4:54 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Login Time Issues I don't think the list is the place for outright solicitation. Especially since I wasn't even asking for assistance.

It has a File/Set Verbose logging option and it reads all of the log records and displays "time from Start of GPO processing". It will help you understand all of the stages in GPO processing as well. If you still can't make sense of the log, send it to me and I will have a look.

That will show you where time is spent during the GP processing cycle. It may not actually be GP at all, but some other process contending with GP.

If I move their laptops to a Test OU the problem disappears. If I block inheritance on the existing OU the problem disappears. I have therefore made the assumption that the problem is being caused by one of the GPOs that is being inherited from an OU above. When logging on their screen stays on Applying Computer Settings for the majority of the time it takes to login. I have assigned all the GPOs that they usually run to a test OU and have been disabling them one at a time to try to find the offending GPO. Is there a quicker way of finding out which GPO is causing the problem?
