Ron, Are you able to supply detail of what point autoexec is called? Also,
are you able to confirm if autoexec.bat needs to be in the root.
Thanks, Brianos

Subject: [THIN] FYI Smartstart and app launch times
OK, Myself and another participant on the list (jeff Matheis) have figured out
something interesting.
At his location and another client they were experiencing some "slow" launch
times. Slow being relative and being between 18 seconds and 30 with an
explicit app and on the first connection. In both locations the Servers were
HP servers built with Smart start (or at least smartstart then imaged). Anyway
in both sites we ran a winlogon debug and noted the same thing, a 9-12 second
delay in the logon process where Autoexec.bat was attempting to be processed.
In both cases the smartstart builds left the autoexec.bat off the system (not
like you need it right) anyway, by placing an empty autoexec.bat out there for
processing we dropped about 10 seconds off of the app launch time. In my
recent client this got our anonymous apps down to 4-5 seconds and our domain
explicit logins down to 7 - 9.
Just an FYI for the list. Another of those untold number of little things we
have to do to make it "right"
