Logon Script
Hello all:
It is taking way too long for the network drives to load on some of the laptops in our office. They are running Windos XP SP2 O/S in AD 2003 environment. There is logon VB script that load the network drives, but not everyone is experiencing the delay loading the drives. Does anyone know a trick that would speed up the process of loading the drives? Gracias. |

turn off Fast Logon Optimization. To do this, enable the following policy on the Windows XP-based client computer: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP-based client computer behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000-based client computer at both system startup and at user logon. Note A similar problem can be resolved if you enable the following policy: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Scripts\Run logon scripts synchronously -- helpful? click "Yes" button. Voting helps the web interface. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e..._and _support Mark L.

I think you'd need to do a bit of diagnostics to find out where the slowness
is originating from. Best bet is DNS problems - try pinging the server by name, and by IP, and see what sort of delay is involved in name-resolution. You could also try mapping the same drives with reference to the server's IP address, and see if that eliminates the delay. If it does, you have a DNS issue. You can also try the NET USE command in a batchfile, and see if that performs better (or worse) than the VB script.
