Alan- I have not seen these types of issues with RSOP and I wonder if this isn't an artifact of TS where you have multiple users worth of RSOP data trying to get stuffed into WMI at the same time? I generally never turn RSOP off unless (not even sure I know how to!) but if it helps in this circumstance, all it means is that you won't be able to run GP Results for those users.

I checked the UserEnv log (using my log reporter!) and it showed the following two entries Time Time Diff text 16:08:07:604 29.152 Adding File name XXXXXXXX to the Adm list. 16:10:50:391 191.939 Successfully logged registry Rsop data Basically for a single user it took 3 minutes to write the RSOP data. They disabled RSOP processing and logon times reduced 80%. Detailed checks of the log show that they had thousands of registry keys being applied. It took 27 seconds to apply the registry settings and a further 170 seconds to log the RSOP data. I am not sure whether there is an underlying problem with why the logging took so long, or whether it is standard for RSOP processing. So my question is, have others seen this problem, and is there really any need to have RSOP processing activated? Is it just easier to activate it when you have a problem? Does any one use the RSOP processing extensively?
