RE: Remote office users slow logon

OK, Lets see if I have all this.....

Lanwench - My AD is working between sites and it is setup as you suggested.
Are you telling me to split the SBScomputers OU into two groups, one for each
site? Does this affect anything else?

Cliff - I was unsuccessful on a previous attempt to move the setup.exe file
accross the tunnell and have it run. I didn't use DFS just copid the folder.
Isn't DFS going away? I would surely like to use it now that I have enough
bandwidth. As for moving from AD to GPO scripts, are there any how tos on
this as I generally stay out of those areas for my own good.....

Les - When I disabled the script entry things were good, but printers and
stuff weren't setup or wouldn't revert back to our defaults on login, so I
should try and fix this first, and as a last resort, coment the line out.

Did I get this right?

I just installed a T1 at my remote office and am still experiencing 1.5 - 2
minute login times.

I am running SBS 2003 standard and Server 2003. There is a pair of Sonicwall
TZ-170s with a site-site VPN tunnel bridging the two offices. Remote server
is a BDC and replicates correctly with SBS. There are no errors in any logs
between the two servers. I have a T1 connecting each office to the internet.

Each user sees the black login script window and we are waiting for the
setup command to run/complete.

I tried rem'ing the line out and everything works fast. I know several posts
here ask what this does, and I know this don't work right without it, so......

Any suggestions on how to improve the login time for these users, the SBS
local users finish the script in 10-20 seconds, versus 1.5 minutes.....

File transfers and access are quite fast, so I don't think it's a network
issue, and now I have upgraded our old DSL to a T1 at this remote office and
would have expected this to be better.

Thanks in advance.
