Hi -

I have inherited an issue and need some help with it... Wondering if anyone
else has some ideas on what to try.

I have a remote site, which includes 7 2000/XP desktops and it is connected
via VPN tunnel.  Each user has told me their login and logout takes
forever.  I've timed it and it's well over 5 minutes.

They use their desktops for mostly internet and some excel and word. They
connect to our terminal server for the rest of their applications.
Currently the users are setup with roaming profiles, the profiles are
located at our main site on a server which means it has to be copied over
the VPN.  Their my documents are also redirected to another folder on a same
server when they login to either their desktop or the terminal server.

I am trying to find the best solution to reduce the login/out times and keep
things as simple as possible.

Do I:

A.  Have the users login locally on their computers instead of using domain
logins?  Remove the roaming profile and keep the my documents redirected to
the server?

B.  Have the users continue to login using their domain logins and remove
the roaming profile and remove the redirection of their my documents?  Teach
them to save things directly to the mapped network drives.
 C.  Any other idea?

What do others do with remote sites/roaming profiles/folder redirection.

thanks - Kelli
