Do you have a lot of SID History from multiple domains going on? ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 8:35 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Time for SIDS to resolve to names exceptionally long... Booker- I've seen that behavior before - any ideas as to whether these are SIDs in remote domains? Or just regular old SIDs in the local domain? It could be a function of the speed of your DCs but I have not tracked down the actual root of this kind of slowness before. However 5 minutes sounds like something is wrong. I would say it might be time to break out a sniffer and see what is happening on the network.

Any ideas as to why when editing, or revising GPOs, when I pull up the GPO, in the scope section, it takes about 5 minutes(Sometimes longer) for the SID to resolve to the actual group or user name.
