Enable user environment debug logging and check which process is causing
slow login.

Hi all,

Hope someone can help with this. I have a laptop that is a domain
member, and when connected to the domain, logs in quick as a flash, no
problems. When I disconnect it from the network the domain is on, and
try and log on again without connecting to any other network, it logs
on no problems (as it should).

The problem I am having is when I am connected to my home ADSL line for
instance, or any other network not connected to my domain, and I try to
log on with this account. When I try this, I get an infuriating wait at
the logon screen. I am putting this down to the fact that the machine
realises that it is connected to a network, and it needs to find a DC
to authenticate with. I have tried tweaking the ScavengeInterval,
ExpectedDialUpDelay registry settings to minimise the wait, and these
have helped, but there is still a 20-30 second delay when logging on,
which is getting very annoying. I've read elsewhere that disabling the
WebClient service helps, but I haven't found this to be so.

I've also read about and tried the SynchronousMachineGroupPolicy and
SynchronousUserGroupPolicy reg tweaks, but they don't help.

I am always getting an error in the event viewer with Event ID 1054,
which suggests it is the fact it can't find a DC for my domain, but
when I'm not connected to the domain, I don't want it to look for one
for 30 seconds. 10 I would find acceptable, and that would be more than
sufficient to cope with any network delays.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
