Roaming Proflies Delay?

[Isaac]

Running dual-homed SBS 2000, all updates.

On Windows XP SP1/a machines using Roaming Profiles I've noticed that, if
the Windows 2000 server is unavailable (i.e. the server containing the
Roaming
Profiles share), the GUI sometimes becomes unusable.

For instance, if the server is unavailable and the start button is clicked,
there is a long delay before it pops up. Basically, any attempt to click
anywhere results in a very long wait.

The item eventually comes up, but there is usually is 10 - 15 second delay.
It's odd, because all these items are installed on the local machine.

Folder Redirection is not being used, neither is Offline Files. Any ideas as
to what would cause this behavior?

See if adding the LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo value as type REG_DWORD and setting
it to 1 at
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

helps.
