I assume all THREE have to be met? I mean, the first one seems to apply to any interactive session a user might want... :)
The following list describes conditions during which Fast Logon Optimization is disabled: *When a user logs on to a computer. *When a user has a roaming user profile or a home directory for logon purposes. *When a user has synchronous logon scripts From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 7:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: (homedrive) When he told us about it, I figured out the reg keys associated with logon optimization from something Darren had blogged and tested it and sure enough, when I removed the logon script and home folder in ADUC and rebooted 2x the key changed state, my logon was faster and without the "applying your settings" screen or whatever it is on XP. This guy knew his stuff about slow logons and gave us a whirlwind tour of xperf from another customer engagement. Very cool tool. Unbelievable amount of detail about startup is available from it. I did a cursory search back then for something more authoritative than "this PFE told me" and found this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa374350(v=vs.85).aspx I haven't had time to visit it further but one of our very sharp desktop guys is. The above is all null and void if you are planning on blaming AD for the misbehavior of Citrix :-p From: Webster [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 4:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: (homedrive) Bob, I am giving a Geek Speak session at Citrix Synergy in May. My GoogleFu isn't turning up anything on this. I would like to add this to my "It's Not Citrix, It's Your !@#$%^& AD" talk. (well I was told I can't use that title but that is what I call it. Actually I think that was MBS' idea for my session title.) Do you have a reference for this I could link to in my talk or maybe even send me a LMGTFY link? Thanks Carl Webster Consultant and Citrix Technology Professional http://www.CarlWebster.com From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Subject: RE: (homedrive) We had a PSS PFE onsite recently for an AD engagement and we were discussing slow boots during a break in the action and he brought up something I had never heard of before. I was always under the assumption that we had what is known as Fast Logon Optimization on our XP systems that allows GPOs to process asynchronously in the background. He told us that it is disabled in our environment because we use the profile settings to map homeDir and specify login script. Basically anything that is set on the Profile tab in ADUC is considered legacy NT behavior and disables logon optimization. I had heard before that roaming profiles or software installation policies disabled it but this was news to me. I played around with my account on an old XP box and it rang true, never got around to looking into it further or on WIN7.
