Roaming Profile

[Guest]

A few of you have weighed in and helped me on an earlier thread. Now I have my user roaming profile working, but it takes a couple to three/four minutes for the user to log in. I can't believe this is the norm and would imagine I have not configured something properly. Any thoughts on what I might check? ... what might cause a slow log-in? I have the workstation DNS pointing to the DNS server which is also the domain ... wondering if DNS settings might have anything to do with user login speed

Thanks

DNS definately has to do with logon speed.

"I have the workstation DNS pointing to the DNS server which is also the
domain ... " Does this statement mean that it's pointing to the DNS
server hosting your AD namespace? This is mandatory.

Also, are you using a single work domain name? This will slow things down
as well. AD functions best with fully qualified domain names.

How big are the profiles? Keep them small - redirect My Documents to the
users' home directories. Also, don't use autosense on *any* NIC - set them
all for a specific speed/duplex setting.
