MS support told me the delay in userinit terminating is caused by 2003 SP1,
which added a setting to autoenroll certificates. My trouble is that the
policy setting they told us to change in order to stop the autoenroll is
missing.
He said change User Config/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Public Key
Policies/ then Roaming Settings (or something similar)--but there is nothing
below Public Key Policies except Enterprise Trust (which is empty). He said
the policy is missing b/c something went wrong with the SP1 install and we
should uninstall/reinstall--(which we don't want to do) and then change the
(then visilbe) setting to Do Not Enroll Certificates.
At this point the 60 second wait is no big deal since most users will be
logged in that long--but what I'm worried about is that this missing policy
setting is a sign of a botched SP1 install and we will find other TS settings
missing in the furture. This is a server we just brought on line yesterday
and we would rather start over from scratch that reinstall SP1.
Is there a way to see this policy setting without doing the reinstall?
Thanks,
