FYI feedback on UV 11.1.1 for Windows...
History: About 18 months ago we migrated user accounts from a locally hosted
AD domain to a remote corporate AD domain and during this time period most
users would experience a significant logon delay because logon credentials were
being accessed only at the single PDC EMULATOR over a wide area network 2500
miles away. Logon times were delayed in most cases about 90 seconds and only
the first 50 users cached would have faster subsequent logons.
Current Status: We upgraded from 10.2.10 to 11.1.1 this past weekend and
feedback from our users has been overwhelmingly positive about how fast they
can log now in just a few seconds.
I thought I would make everyone aware of this significant improvement (for AD
WAN installations) and acknowledge Rocket Software for fixing this long
standing issue! It certainly pays to read the release notes when announced
from Rocket. Thank you Epicor for getting this release to us quickly.
The release notes for 11.1.1 documented the following improvement:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNV-3858 UniVerse -- At UniVerse 11.1.1, an upgrade was made
to make Directory Services calls to retrieve the login
path information. These calls are directed to any
(or the closest, if the network is properly configured)
Active Directory server that contains Domain Controller
information about login paths. Also, username/sid/uid
cache is now used for all types of users.
What improves:
1. Login speed.
For first user access after UV shutdown/restart:
due to the ability to reach a closer situated AD
server for the information (fast)
For subsequent user access: due to the use of
username/sid/uid cache (fastest)
2. Reliability
Due to the ability to retrieve user authentication
either from cache or any AD server even if the
server containing PDC role is down or inaccessable -
which is the main problem with slow or unreliable
networks.
