We got slow Logons since we were @PS4 (w2k3) and i don't know what to do - every hint in thinlist and in the web can't help at the moment... So maybe its the same Problem over here - haven't verified it yet... On 3/29/06, Andy <andysideas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I'm a little confused by this. How is ntuser.pol invovled ? Was that not for NT4 systems ? Having said that, we also done testing similar to what you have done. We then decided that the upgrade to PS4 would also include an upgrade to Windows2003 SP1. Just completed the upgrade, very glad we did. Logins are now faster like for like. Although with SP1 more GPO options are there if you decide to enable them. Have you tested Windows 2003 ? Also you have not mentioned the client, but I take it the client was the latest version 9xxx On 3/29/06, M <mathras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: Hello there, I have been testing 2000 PS4 for some of our older legacy application servers. 2000 PS4 + Rollup Fix 1 + Post Rollup Hotfixes Identical OS build & Patches, Identical hardware. 4 Servers used to compare. PS4 takes double the amount of time to log in when compared with XP FR3 SP4. I thought this was very strange.The servers in the same OU and compared login times. I have turned all mappings off apart from clipboard mapping. XP FR3 SP4 Servers take 10-20 seconds to log in. PS4 takes 45 seconds upwards to log in. After monitoring and recording sessions loggin in, i found that PS4 is as quick as XP to establish a connection. The login time takes longer as GPO policy processing is taking place. This is also evident simply by looking at the "Enhanced" Login window. Processing registry Policy takes an age (for test users anyway). Filemon traces show that Winlogon spends longer looking at the resulting ntuser.pol that appears in the users profile, than when compared with XP. Anyone noticed this with PS4 ? -- [Der denkende Mensch ändert seine Meinung.]
