We are having an issue with slow login times for new users (and on occasion, current users). They have a roaming profile setup (Profile share & Home Folder) set to the correct location, but when they initially log in, it takes 10+ minutes for them to get past the Welcome screen. I could not find an issue with our GPO setup, but I did get a log of what goes on during that time. One thing stood out because it appeared several times throughout the logon process: CExtSessionLogger: : Delete: Failed to DeleteInstance with 0x80041002 I'm wondering if that is an indication of why it is taking so long to log in. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, Try to disable antivirus software and firewall for test. Furthermore, you can try to disable fast logon: Open the Group Policy Object where you have preference items. Enable the 'Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon' setting (disable fast logon feature) in Computer Configuration--->Administrative Templates--->System--->Logon. Run 'gpupdate /force' in command prompt and then restart the clients to get policies refreshed. Check whether all map drives with custom label are shown in Explorer.

Sorry I have not replied quickly, I did not have alerts setup for my profile. Here's a few updates: 1. The AV was not installed at the time of testing\troubleshooting 2. The Windows Firewall is turned off. 3. The GPO "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" is set to enabled (and has been for several months). 4. The article KB2525332 I'm a little weary of applying due to the fact that the last time I made changes to Folder Redirection settings, I inadvertently deleted all users redirected folders & docs and also for some odd reason, managed to make adding favorites to IE (which are redirected) freeze the computer up for a few minutes.Chris Roberts IT Professional CompTIA A+, MCTS: Windows 7, Configuration

Hi, Try this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346 Sometime the GPO of desktop background may affect this. Furthermore, since the issue occur with various users on the domain, I suspect the issue should related with GPO configuration on Server. I suggest to contact Windows Server Forum for further help: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
