[gptalk] Re: MS Releases GPMC Speed-Up Fix for Vista and W2KOcho

My thoughts exactly... I remember that you and I had discussed this exact topic 
a few days after you had worked with themwards...

Now if they'll look at the time it takes to launch the Advanced Security 
interface (when connecting with VPN). My line speed is ~1500 kbps from home... 
it shouldn't take 1.5 minutes to get that interface pop-up.

Thanks Jerry-
Would be interesting to see if this is the result of a bug I filed with the 
product group on behalf of a poster to this list related to how they were 
querying AD.

Didn't see this posted or discussed yet. MS Posted this KB article on December 
16th, 2008. I just completed testing today.
Results of installing this hotfix are reasonably 'Great!' from my perspective. 
(We have ~ 2,300 GPOS).

On computers that are running Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1, RSAT 
GPMC has long delays in domain environments that have many GPOs
Article ID: 959438 - Last Review: December 16, 2008 - Revision: 1.0
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=959438

Test results launching GPMC from a virtual location using Vista 32 bit + SP1 + 
RSAT device.

Prior to Hotfix
   Starting GPMC: Averaged 1 min - 32 seconds
   Switching GPOs while on Scope tab: Averaged 36 seconds to display data
   Delegation tab and Click on Advanced button: Averaged 1 min 42 secs

After Installing the Hotfix
   Starting GPMC: Averaged 36 seconds <== Awesome!
   Switching GPOs while on Scope tab: Averaged 4 seconds to display data <== 
Great!
   Delegation tab and Click on Advanced button: Averaged 1 min 36 secs    <== 
No significant change, so MS take a look at this next.
