Hi, We are experiencing rather slow logons, the most time being taken during the "applying registry settings" UI message. After enabling user logon debugging we noticed that userinit.exe seems cause a pause of 40 seconds. The following snippet taken from the userenv.log file shows this gap: USERENV(1560.151c) 18:05:36:516 ApplyGroupPolicy: Leaving successfully. USERENV(1560.1734) 18:05:36:516 GPOThread: Next refresh will happen in 92 minutes USERENV(1560.118c) 18:05:36:516 PolicyChangedThread: Leaving USERENV(150c.1384) 18:05:36:547 LibMain: Process Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe USERENV(1560.141c) 18:06:19:016 IsSyncForegroundPolicyRefresh: Synchronous, Reason: policy set to SYNC USERENV(1560.17e0) 18:06:19:031 IsSyncForegroundPolicyRefresh: Synchronous, Reason: policy set to SYNC USERENV(16b4.1558) 18:06:19:094 LibMain: Process Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe USERENV(1538.1704) 18:06:19:094 LibMain: Process Name: C:\Program Files\Softricity\SoftGrid for Terminal Servers\sftdcc.exe USERENV(145c.1338) 18:06:19:094 LibMain: Process Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe Before and after this gap, all seems to be normal (no errors, no gaps).
