hi geeks, we have a 2008 64Bit R2 domain whit winXP SP3 clients... now we will update our hw und os to w7 ent. 64bit. i have set up new gpo for w7 users and w7 client but the login is very slow... if I desable the clients pgo the logon will take abaout 5sec. thats great. but when the client gpo is liked it taktes up to 2,5min. i tried to unlink the clients gpo and the logon performace is then by 5sec. but when this pgo is linked - even when i create e new emty one - the logon performace is down... no problems whit the winXP clients... thanks - dominic

Hi Dominic, Please do provide the uneditted ipconfig /all from the dc and on the client secondly let us know the profiles that these users are using , are they using roaming profiles ?when the system logs on which is a part of domain , group policy settings from the computer configuration and user configuration part of the GPO are appliled . if there are number of GPO's which are gettingn applied you will see the potential delay so for the above reason we configure the appropriate OU , some times we filter / combine the grou policies questions=======a) is this happeningn with certain users ?b) have you configured the dns settings appropriately to point to the correct DNS server ( i guess so , or else you could have repro the same iwth xp clients ) c) what configurations have you enabled with GPO ?we would be requiring to collect the userenv logs for analysis
