Ok I think it helps if I summarize my problem: Client: Windows 7 Professional, 64bit, English Server: openSUSE 11.2, running Samba 3.4.3 as a PDC
Login as Local user: ===================== First time login: Profile is being created very fast Further logins: Profile is being loaded very fast First time launch of software: Instant startup of software Further launches of software: Instant startup of software Login as domain user: ===================== First time login: Profile creation takes AGES (30-50 minutes) Further logins: Profile is being loaded very fast (10-20 seconds) First time launch of locally installed software: Startup of software takes ages (approx 3-6 minutes) Further launches of locally installed software: Instant startup of software > I'd ask on one of the windows groups -- maybe some MVP would know.

Thank you I will check that out! > I doubt it's samba -- since no one else is seeing that symptom... I think it is, since I am having this effect only when using my roaming profile! But I think that the group of users using the following combination: "Samba 3.4.3 & Windows 7-64bit & Samba as a PDC & roaming profiles & using this mailing list & being able to report the problem" is very limited until today.. > maybe some antivirus interaction?

Do you know a good windows-alternative to procmail?
