Re: Remote office logon script - Long Delay

My first thought was DNs, but no erros or problems browsing/accessing
netwoprk resources. Users are on the systems at the moment, so I'll post an
IPConfig log as soon as I can.

This remote server was built using connect computer script, and is a GC/AD
server with DNS and DHCP for it's area.

Copying large files can be a real burden to the network, but no more than I
would expect for the bandwidth that is available.

Is there anything that can be done for setup.exe to improve it's
performance? Copy the folder?

DSL and is slow, but works for the 3 employees.

I am experiencing an extremely long delay running the logon script
file. Seems the setup.exe file may be the culprit. My script has only
two lines but takes almopst 10 minutes to complete.

\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s PHXSERVER
\\SERVER\ezaudit\ezstart /auto

I can watch the scripts progress and the setup line is the long
delay. No error messages are displayed, just seems to take too long.


Any guidance on how to improve performance? My local systems are done
in 10-15 seconds.

Thanks in advance.

Well my first take would be that the remotes might be having trouble;

a) resolving "PHXSERVER" back to the SBS server.
-or-
b) the clientsetup program "setup.exe" is passing suffecient data across the
link to slow things down.

....and I suppose it could be a combination or something else altogether.

How did you setup (/connectcomputer?) the remote clients? Can you do a
ipconfig/all from a local client and one from the remote and post the
results?
