Chad:
Thanks for the clarification. If this hotfix from Microsoft still doesn't
do the trick, I will try this.

Actually, as it says, remove the entry cmstart.exe from the appstart entry
in hlkm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentverion\winlogon.
Then, edit the userlogon.cmd file to include the line start /c cmstart.exe.

Tyfanie,
Thanks for writing back on this.
I just have a few questions on what you quoted from Rick:
When in the statement: "I removed cmstart.exe from appsetup under
hlkm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentverion\winlogon. And added a line:
Start /c cmstart.exe Towards the end of usrlogon.cmd.", does this mean when
doing the reg-hack that I replace "cmstart.exe" with "start /c cmstart.exe"
within the registry, replacing the original "cmstart.exe"? If not, where
does the "start /c cmstart.exe" go?
I have been working with some Microsoft engineers, and they had me apply a
new hotfix that they gave me. It references to KB818528 "Problems when more
than one user accesses the same file through Terminal Services." It's
supposed to be the latest and greatest hotfix for this slow down problem.
Something to do with same file use by multiple people while in TS. It does
an update on the mrxsmb.sys and the rdbss.sys files, and you also do a
registry hack.

Umm, I had REALLY slow logins.. talking like 10 minutes or so. I already
posted this to the list & got a great response that now makes that box the
fastest one logging in!
The fix was given by Rick Mack (Thanks again, Rick). If you want more info
do a search for the title "SP4 and slow logins"
Had this problem on one customer site and traced it to cmstart taking just
about forever.
I removed cmstart.exe from appsetup under hlkm\software\microsoft\windows
nt\currentverion\winlogon.
And added a line:
Start /c cmstart.exe
Towards the end of usrlogon.cmd.
Cmstart still takes ages to complete, but it runs in the background and
doesn't stop explorer from initialising reasonably quickly.

Has anyone experienced slow logins and screen freezes on their Citrix boxes
after installing SP4 for Win2k? If so, have they found a solution?
I have been working with Microsoft on this problem, but after two weeks, we
are still scratching our heads in confusion.
