Maybe already discussed, but were some of the most recent patches relative to
VSS? Since you tested with two versions of the client, I can guarantee, but I
remember having such problems several months ago, when the client would query
VSS on start, and each query took several minutes. After 5 to 10 minutes it
would go to the next step (GUI appearing). When you selected files to backup,
gues what? New query to VSS and new ten-minute wait.
A TRACE (can't remember the flags, unfortunately) revealed the problem, and
talking to MS about the VSS patches cured the problem.

Subject: Windows GUI - unusably slow
We have come upon a strange issue with the Windows GUI client.
It takes 10+ minutes to transition from startup to each screen.
>From the time you click to start it up, it takes 10-minutes before you get
the login prompt. Then is jumps in immediately. If you go to the setup
wizard to configure the dsm.opt file, it takes another 10-minutes before
that process starts up.
We have completely deleted/ripped out the GUI/TSM client, twice. The
server shows little to no activity. CPU and network I/O is nill.
Once it connects to the TSM server, the session simply goes into a wait.
Bytes transfered as also nill (< 1k)
We have tried killing all antivirus.....rebooted.....etc
We have tried the latest client (5.5.1.1) as well as going back to a 5.4
client.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
