That is interesting. It sounds like you experience a large number of logon/logoffs a minute right? Generally in as a server is rolled in and out the new server (with no load) will get the new connections until the load is even. But it sounds to me like you really have a large number of logons all the time? The Idle session thing might be a valid question. Also I would look at what is killing the server during this 30 or so minutes? Is it copying roaming profiles? Large ones? Is it killing the CPU running logon scripts with lots of external exe's etc... Could be any number of things. But lets look at what is really happening at the server.

Just how many are you getting on at once anyway? Andrew --o-- ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online Essential Thin Client Utilities.
