I got nothing on this one, it is killing me. 2008 domain, mostly XP desktops but some Win 7 and Vista machines with the same problem. Applies settings and all of that very quickly. But when the desktop shows up, it is blank...then it can be 3 or 4 minutes before the hourglass goes away and icons appear and the user gets control of the desktop.
I turned up all the logging I could last night and I am finding some events now that might be helpful. The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event (StartShell). And The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> took 104 second(s) to handle the notification event (StartShell). Seems like GP's are hanging. DC's are up and no errors, DNS and WINS are responding just fine. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
