[THIN] Re: "Applying user settings" takes longer time

"Aplying user settings" has nothing to do with Nfuse or Citrix. It is
Windows 2000 login message. The time frame for this message depends on a lot
of things ex. whether you use roaming profiles or not, your DNS and how
complicated and well-organized your Group Policy structure is. If the
profiles size exceed say 5 Mb, you use a lot of GPO and they are not
optimised and the network feed to the profile storage server is slow-that
could give you the message. Since Group Policy works based on DNS you want
to make sure your Citrix servers use same Windows 2000 DNS server.

you may enable detailed userenv logging to see more what is happening when a
user logs in. Use Microsoft KB 186454

Subject: [THIN] "Applying user settings" takes longer time



What is the average time for "Applying user settings " to complete when =
launching an application through Nfuse  .I am using Metaframe XP FR1 with =
Nfuse 1.7.

Average time seems to be 6 secs but it spikes to 30 secs and users are =
complaining about it.  This time frame seems normal to me but I am looking =
for confirmation about whether this is normal or not.  My manager thinks =
this is too long and wants an explanation.

I am using the same user login on the same servers and application in my =
tests.  The response is usually 6 secs but I have seen as high as 26 secs, =
mostly on slower machines.  Does anyone know where the work is being done =
during this part of the login?

Thanks
