I just set this on our servers (not on the DCs) and that seemed to take care of the problem. We have mostly noticed this problem at locations where we have Sonicwall devices, if that helps. Cisco doesn't seem to cause the same problem. Doug From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Timothy J.

Does this just need to be set on the clients and when they attempt to talk to the server over TCP it will just respond or do I need to set this on the DCs also?

Parker Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 6:05 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Group Policies and long login times. I previously posted a question on the newsgroups and thought I would bring it here as I haven't gotten a good answer yet and it "sort of" involves Group policy. I don't think that is my total problem, but need to get my head around this problem and figure out what I might be able to do to fix it (if anything). We have 2 actual offices where the majority of our employees are located. But we also have currently 3 remote locations where there is a "random" employee (there are 3-4 that go between the offices). These users have laptops so they can move freely as needed. They all connect over a VPN connection back to our main office. The agency users roaming profiles and they had My Documents set up to be redirected to a server ( I am tweaking the location but it appears to be fine overall). I have added a new GPO since I got here for myself currently to redirect my Desktop. I haven't touched Application data as of yet. But when either I or anyone else logs in remotely it seems to take forever (in some cases 20+ minutes). One of the "answers" I got when I inquired about whether I might have something set up wrong in regards to these redirects as I thought by doing that I would be helping to speed up the process of logging in/out. Was that it still copies the files back and forth (sync) with the login. We have the users save stuff either on Network shares or my Documents. I am thinking that MyDocuments is a bad place to store stuff, even though its redirected? My end goal is to have very little, if any, user data on the actual laptop, for archival and security purposes (health care info is what we deal with). Thoughts? Are my policies causing issues? TIA. Previously Posted on MS Newsgroups... I am trying to figure out if I missed something when this on our network. I have a couple new laptop users that I just turned loose and I am trying to install a printer for one remotely. The logon time is taking forever. I have my desktop and mydocuments folders being redirected. Shouldn't that speed up the logins? Or am I missing something with how this works? The only thing I haven't redirected yet is Application Data. Thoughts?
