Just some random thoughts for you incase you haven't tried. Since
obviously this problem is within the script itself.
Make sure RunLogonScriptSync value = 0 in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\sy
stem
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
You may also want to try adding the /D switch to your net use statement
in the logon script if you haven't already.
Eg: (if \\2ktsvr\profiles is the profile dir)
net use S: /D
net use S: \\2ktsvr\profiles
Or are you specifically setting this within AD users and computers? If
you only have one mapping, why not eliminate the batch login script (or
whatever it is) and set it within AD users and computers. If you need
them to save to drive Z, you can connect that one drive without a "login
script".
There is also an issue with Q329170 installed on Windows 2000 machines
that causes the problem you are referring to. This is due to an issue
with loading and unloading roaming profiles. Either remove it and/or
apply the Hotfix listed within MS KB Article #Q814770. You will probably
need to contact Microsoft for the specific patch. Symptoms of this are
Userenv errors on the server that it is logging in to (Metaframe
Servers).
Other than that, I would suggest you take hold of a machine that suffers
from this for a day and do some debugging.

Hope that helps some.

Chad,
Do you use Netware, by chance?

Sorry, only drive mapping is the roaming profile.

check the drive mappings. is it trying to map something that doesn't
exist anymore or isn't available?

Win2000 machines, SP3, using client 6.30.1050.
I pull the script, and they connet like a dream. No script to run
synchronous.
I turn the script back on, and logons take forever again.

I would check Brian's documentation first.
What kind of clients are these connecting to the Metaframe server? All
one OS? Thin terminals? Hybrid?

When not running the script, it flies....goes right in, no issues.
Logoffs still take forever.

You're talking about a logon script?
Have you tried taking it out of the user config and starting up the app?
I would imagine so, but I'll ask for the sake of knowing.

Slow logons are for both ICa and RDP. Waiting for the script to finish.

WIN2K, SP3. Too many horror stories about SP4.
This issue is ONLY on MF SP3 servers. Either built that way fresh, or
upgraded from MF SP2. I can walk through and prove it on command. MF
XPe SP2, good logons, a few seconds, upgrade to MF SP3, BAM! Instant
slow logons. The script is sunning synchronous, and all the reg.
settings and the like are set to run asynchronous. I can not wait for
the script to finish to run the app. That is why we set it to
asynchronous.

Chad,
I know Brian released a whitepaper about troubleshooting slow logons a
little bit ago in this forum. (I'll look for it if you can't find it, or
maybe Brian would be kind enough to post again. ;-))
Did you run down the list and see if any of those fixed your issue?
Also, do you have 2k Service Pack 4 on that box?

Has anyone heard from Citrix regarding this issue? I feel like I am the
only person experiencing this.
Since putting MF SP3 on some servers, the logons to those has gotten
INCREDIBLY long, small profiles, taking 2-3 minutes to open a published
app. The script is set on the machines and show in the registry, to run
asynchronous, but it runs synchronous and I have to wait for my script
to complete, before I can get the app. to be usable.
This is causing great frustration and heating up the already warm water
I am in. Thoughts, ideas, anyone else experiencing this?
