From: Brian on 20 Jan 2010 23:04 There is a rather extreme difference in logon time at a workstation when comparing domain admin logon and domain user logon. Windows 2003 SBS Windows XP Pro client Network 1. There is a LAN in the office housing the SBS domain controller. 2. There is a router-to-router hardware VPN between this office and a remote office. 3. There is no server in remote office, so the (only) PC in remote office logs onto domain via the VPN. When I log on as the domain admin, it takes somewhere between five and eight minutes to log on & run the logon script. When I log on as a regular domain user, it takes perhaps at most 45 seconds to logon and run the same logon script. I already removed the admin local profile and logged on again to recreate it. I infer that it must have something to do with the admin having elevated rights to resources on the server across the VPN, but what? I am a little mystified (actually, I am a LOT mystified.) |
