Topic: Logon Issue

[gw.allan]

Hi,
Whenever anyone logs onto to their account from a workstation - it takes absolutely ages to logon - sometimes 5 - 10 minutes. The server is set up as the domain controller and people can then logon to their account at any workstation. But why is it taking so long? Have I done something wrong?

this is a problem with roaming profiles.. if your Luser save gigabytes of trash in his documents folder or in his desktop you will suffer this kind of delay.

Hi,
i don't think even all our users have that much things in total?!

Although sometimes when logging off it does say that it cannot copy the roaming profile back to the server?

well.. do you use outlook? or any other mail client in pop3?

all your "documents and settings\user" folder is copied.

what's the output of

Code: [Select]

du -s -h /home/e-smith/files/samba
?

what's the speed of your nic? 100Mbit? 1Gbit? and of your network?
