Don't we just love outside 'consultants' who generally come in and know
nothing about your network and say "change that", leave and let you pick up
the pieces.

Out of curiosity is it only the citrix logons that are glacier-like?

Thanks Rob.  The reason I ask is that for the past couple of weeks, we have
been having ungodly slow logon times in our Citrix environment.  No one can
figure out why.  We have a consultant who came in and he wants to decrease
network traffic by stopping WINS altogether.  That just sounds wrong to me.
Really really wrong.  We have about 550 NT machines out there, most of which
have the computer browser service disabled (although one of our other genius
consultants wants us to enable it on all the machines).  I'm afraid of the
day that WINS is stopped.  I'm taking off that day.
