Hi,
I have been running a windows server domain for a while now, but recently I have noticed that logon scripts are running noticeably slowly. The scripts work (all they do is map drives), and everything is mapped correctly, but mapping each drive takes around a second. I know this isnt exactly life and death, but the hole script used to take half a second to run!

I have tried disjoining and joining machines, rewriting and moving logon scripts, making a new GPO to enforce the scripts, but nothing has resolved the issue - I have even formatted my PC to no avail!

All I have changed since it worked is adding an ISA server, a new linux web server, and moving things around in AD (making new OU's and shifting things into some kind of order). Could moving things around in AD cause this? As I said I have made a new GPO for the admins, but no joy.

Any help appreciated,

Rob

defragging your system/shared drives?

Give a person a fish you feed them for a day.
Ask a person to internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

It happens on every computer in the network, so I thought it might be a windows update that has recently been applied, but who knows. Any more thoughts?

Thanks,

Rob

Defrag your servers disks like Wanderer says and see if that helps.

UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.
