Neil-
Do you have anti-virus scanning SYSVOL folders? If so, you might want to
disable it for the policies folders and see if it helps. I don't see
anything else in the logs below that lead me to a concrete solution other
than something like anti-virus. You might want to try enabling Network
Monitor on one of these clients and see what's going on on the network when
this happens.

Subject: [gptalk] Problem with clients taking a long time to
setregistryvalue
Hi,
We have a problem with some of our clients. They are taking anywhere between
20-45 minutes to log onto the network either when they boot the computer up
or after they log in. To make it more confusing it doesn't effect all
clients, some are ok. I enabled verbose group policy logging and found that
that it was taking a long time to apply one policy which contains some
internet explorer settings. It is taking approximately 10 seconds to apply
one registry setting.
The domain controllers and clients are on a decent network link, DC's are
running W2k3 SP2 and the clients are WinXP SP2.
When we reboot the domain controllers for that site the problem goes away
for a couple of days and them comes back again. We have 2 domain controllers
at the site and they are both experiencing the issue. Other domain
controllers in other sites are not affected. I have included the log file
below with the section where the problem is occurring.
Also I see on the domain controllers that the policies registry file
(\\sysvol\policies\policy\registry.pol) is being held open which I guess it
because of the time its taking for the clients to apply and read the
settings. There are anywhere between 150-250 clients which have this file
open at any one time.
Has anybody ever come across this issue before and know how to resolve it?
I've spent quite a lot of time investigating it and still haven't found a
fix L
