Not sure why you are confused about ntuser.pol standard ms stuff.

An archive file on client computers that is updated each time the
Administrative Templates CSE sets a policy setting. As processing completes, an
Ntuser.pol containing the history of applied registry based policies in the
Group Policy managed policies tree is written to the root of the user's profile
containing user policy settings and to the "all users" profile containing
computer policy settings.(%Allusersprofile%\ntuser.pol for computer policy and
%userprofile%\ntuser.pol for user policy.)
Ntconfig.pol is the old default NT4 policy file.
2003 PS4 is a tad faster.

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

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 ?
