Bart-
Have you checked to see if there is a policy set to tell registry processing
to always run even if the policy hasn't changed? The history information
that GP uses to determine if versions or group memberships have changed is
stored per-machine and does not roam with the user, so I can understand that
policy might apply at least once when a user logs into a new machine, but
the repeated refreshes don't make sense unless something external is forcing
that.

Hey Bart yeah a :-) is on it's place been a while since we last talked.
As you describe it , it won't be on the server(s) as you said they are all
in the same OU. Policies shouldn't be loaded again then.
I hope Darren can figure it out or hint you in the right direction. Are
there any strange event's in the servers or is it simply user logged on etc
blabla.

Hello Hans :-)
All the servers are in the same OU receiving the same gpo's.
they logon to the first and recieve all settings
they logon to the second and recieve all settings
they logon to the first again and again recieve all settings!!
if they
they logon to the first recieve all settings
they logon to the first again it skippes the settings
So it happens when switching servers in the same silo and metaframe farm, as
we have silo's with for example 60 servers in them, this practically means
the settings are applied all the time.
it probably has something to do with the GPO history contained in the
NTuser.pol file from the roaming profile, but can't figure out how this
could be fixed.

As you state they logon to two different servers, does it also happen if
they logon to two servers in the same OU? Or only if they logon to another
farm or silo server(s).

Hello,
I'm a litlle plagued by this annoying problem. Our metaframe people are
complaining about long logon times for GPO's for certain servers.
I've studied their userenv logs and found it relates to following behaviour.
I've got loopback processing enabled with merge, and it merges several more
restrictive settings when logging on to a metaframe server.
When a user logs on the first time al his gpo settings are applied which
takes about 30 seconds, when they logon a second time to the same server
their settings are marked "same" and the application is skipped.
This is how it should work obviously.
Now when they logon to another server in the metaframe farm i see
NTuser.pol from their profile first erasing all settings in the registry
extension part, and then reapplying them again from the GPO on the domain.
Only the registry extension has this behaviour , all the other ones don't do
this.
Why does this happen? and why is the gpo history not transferred via the
roaming profile to another server ?
Can this be reversed somehow ?
Even if in userenv it says: "the lists are the same" it still deletes and
reapplies.
see example
USERENV 14:34:43:370 ProcessGPOs Processing extension Registry

USERENV 14:34:43:370 ReadStatus Read Extension's Previous status

and then the reapplication

[OK] 7.812
USERENV 14:34:46:323 SetRegistryValue NoSMMyPictures => 1 [OK]
7.859
normally it should be like this (same user again on same server)
USERENV 14:12:54:275 ProcessGPOs Processing extension Registry
1.359
USERENV 14:12:54:275 ReadStatus Read Extension's Previous status
successfully. 1.359
USERENV 14:12:54:275 CompareGPOLists The lists are the same. 1.359
USERENV 14:12:54:275 CheckGPOs No GPO changes and no security group
membership change and extension Registry has NoGPOChanges set. 1.359
USERENV 14:12:54:275 ProcessGPOs ----------------------- 1.359
As we have multiple metaframe's in multiple farms and silo's this actually
mean that mostly all of these settings are constantly being reapplied
costing the user 30 seconds every time.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
