Re: Weird Vista issue on SBS 2003

Hey Susan:

I created a GPO = Desktop Copy Policy
In the policy under users windows I enabled folder redirection for
mydocuments
Filter = None
Looking at the policy in GPMC it shows:
Path \\myserver\users\%username%\My Documents
Grant User Exclusive enabled
Move contents enabled

On my Vista machine I did disable rss and autotuning

On my Vista machine I put a test folder test4 and a test document text4 into
documents. I can see it on the local machine.

I set the filter level at first to NONE did gpupdate /force and rebooted the
vista machine. Since I did not see the file and folder on the server I ran
gpresult and it said Desktop Copy Policy = Not Applied (Empty)

So I left the polcy intact and just changed the filter to POST SP2 and the
gpresult said
Desktop Copy Policy Denied (WMi filter)

So I applied the VISTA filter (the Vista machine has the WMI patch to allow
it to join the LAN with the connectcomputer wizard). Gpudate /force and
rebooted

GPresult says Desktop Copy Policy NOT APPLIED (Empty)

I am definately confused :)

I'm not seeing this speed delay here. Do you have the RSS adjusted off
the SBS 2003 box post sp2 install?

I stand corrected. I had to reboot and it worked. Not just logging off. I
was able to use the START menu right away although the icons and the menu
item in the initial menu took about 1 minute to appear.
Whew!

Thank you for your help.

MS really needs to address this in a serious way.

Um, I probably have this bass-wards, as I don't have any notebooks in use on
SBS servers, but intuitively I would think that you would first enable
document redirection with the wiz, so that all files are stored on the
server when connected, and then enable sync so that a copy was available on
the nb when it was away.

yes/no?

Yes I did. Performance is better now. On a fresh boot and logon it takes
maybe a minute for the icons on the main (left hand) side to show up.
This
is way better than before, thank you very much.

How do I get the documents to clone back to the server? Trying to use
tried
and true GPO for redirecting the users documents to a folder on the hard
drive server under their user name. I can't seem to find where these are
going on the server.

You did the part about slow login times:?

There have been issues with slow logon times, where turning off
auto-tuning
on the Vista client may help:
From a command prompt, type:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled "

Quick follow up question. Do you know why it take several minutes
AFTER
you
apply these patches for the icons and menu items to appear in the START
MENU?
Do I have to set a logon policy for all vista clients to have the
autotuning
and rss disabled? That did seem to help.

Hi Chuck:

We are discussing SBS 2003 here? Did you add the patch for SBS and
the
patch for Vista?

Follow these links for Vista patches to apply to the SBS server:

Install the Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update on the SBS
server
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9BF2F1E4-1B2C-471B-A284-E0C8C169FAC3&displaylang=en

Be sure to read the bottom part of this page for additional
requirements.

Here is another MS article about the same fix:
Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007
compatibility update
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=926505

Review the following: Each has a couple of links to follow:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555912


For Vista Clients to work properly with SBS 2003:
To join the domain, Vista must be Business, Enteprise or Ultimate.
And should/must be joined to the SBS network using the connectcomputer
wizard

http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2007/04/04/vista-slow-after-sp2-installed.aspx

There have been issues with slow logon times, where turning off
auto-tuning
on the Vista client may help:
From a command prompt, type:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled "

Also, disable all firewalls. Pay particular attention to McAffee, as
you
must disable all services in MSCONFIG.

Possible DNS Config Problems

Check your DNS settings on the Vista client.

In particular if you are using "Append these DNS suffixes (in order):"
make
sure the internal
domain is in the list and at the top.

At a command prompt you should be able to resolve the server name
without
a
DNS suffix (e.g.
nslookup servername).


WSUS 2.0?
One thread discussed a problem with an older installation of WSUS that
would
not update Vista
Not tested by me.:

Old installation prior to Nov 2006 of WSUS that does not allow Vista
Patches
?
1. If the WSUS was installed prior to November, you need to go
back
into
the WSUS console and unclick all products/save/reclick all
products/save
and
resync.

2. If you are behind wsus 2.0 you need to install wsus 30 to allow the
Vista
to manually MU. Behind 2.0 it won't/can't.

Hi:
I built a new laptop with Vista and joined it to the domain.
Whenever
I
log
in locally the machine runs fine, whenever I log in as a domain user
the
machine's performance drops significantly. The disk light is
constantly
on
and the icons on the start menu disappear. I cannot run anything
from
the
SEARCH box.

Also the mapped drives are gone.

There must be a setting to get this right or either I have set one
incorrectly.

Anyone have any thoughts ?
Thanks

Chuck
