Have you checked the profile-size of the problem users? I had some users that were saving gigabyte-sized-folders on their desktops filled with mp3-files and movies(...), before I enforced the 30MB profile-limit GPO in our AD. Also check if the users have a my documents-folder in the profile, it might be filled with tons of documents. Better redirect this folder to the users homefolder, so that it doesn't get sent back and forth all the time. HTH. --Original Message Text--- From: Jeff Malczewski Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 09:09:26 -0400 On Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients, we are seeing times in excess of 15 to 20 minutes before the user reaches their desktop. This is only from standalone PCs, not from Terminal Services sessions. It is not happening to everyone. For instance, I can log in fine from my desk, but my boss, who has the same permissions, same OU, same GPO, same switch card on the backbone, everything, has to wait 15 to 20 minutes to get his desktop... 9x clients get a message stating "Unable to load <DC>\netlogon\config.pol. Please contact your system administrator." Can anyone provide any insight? I removed an AD controller yesterday, but according to ADSIEdit, LDP, and ntdsutil, the removal went just fine, no issues.
