Re: Login to SBS takes 30 minutes - 1 hour

Hi,

I've got WSUS 3.0 patched to SP1 running fine on my SBS install - however I
did have a funky problem similar to yours when a huge email got stuck in the
queue - the AVG scan component was taking up 100% CPU and basically crashing
the server - I ended up having to uninstall it and reinstall, which fixed
the problem. I was able to identify what the problem was by looking in task
manager and using perfmon for a while after I had done a hard reboot.

Have a look in your performance/monitoring and alerts perhaps, to see
whether something is causing problems on the server?

The only time I've seen people taking forever to log in the first time then
fine thereafter is when using profiles which have become excessively large -
for example my profile once rocketed to 8Gb because Sonic helpfully stored
an image of the projects I'd burned in my profile, and unsuprisingly when I
tried to log into a laptop, via wifi, 2 hours later (we left it for comedy
value to see how long it'd take) it was still logging me on!

(No, DNS is correct and points at server).

Ive done some maintenenace on some of our computer and also tried to
install
WSUS 3.0 on SBS (which failed since apperantly SBS cannot run this very
well... thanks for telling me this Ms... after I had installed it).

Anyways today on of my clients is attempting to log in and gets stuck at
the
setup.exe batch script. There is no information as to what it is doing, it
just sits there.

Ive experienced this once before and then the client took 40 minutes to
login, all logins after that took no time at all.

What is etup.exe doing that can take this long time? No other computers
are
affected in this way, only one out of 10.

How do I find out what is done? Can I disable setup.exe loading on login
in
the user properites on server?

Really frustrating with a client that just sits there and there is no way
to
know what it is doing.

Any ideas are much appreciated cause I am fresh out myself.

Regards,


.
