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? -----Original Message----- From: Costanzo, Ray [mailto:rcostanzo@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 2:29 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
