Re: Profiles on Terminal Services

Are there any warnings or errors in the EventLog about profile load
or unload errors?

Which SP are you running? SP2 contains a hotfix which might solve
the problem:

899409 - You may experience a 20-second delay when you try to
access a redirected folder by logging on to a Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 1-based computer or to a Windows XP Service Pack 2-
based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=899409

Have you checked the size of the user profiles? Maybe they are
simply too big for a fast logon?

Be sure to limit the disk space for Temporary Internet Files and
exclude them from roaming with the profile.

I would also enable verbose logging of the user environment, which
should show you which part of the logon process is taken a long
time.

Ok, we are having a problem with slow logons and logoffs with
terminal services
TS servers are running windows 2003 in a Windows 2000 domain.

In Active directory each user is configured under TS profile to
load the home (set to \\server\home\%userame% and user profile
(set to \\server\profile\%username%)

Group policy is also set with folder redirection for the My
Documents folder Set to:create a folder for each user under the
root path

\\server\home

Do we need to have the \\server\home set in both the users
Active directory TS profile and in group policy, or just one?
Could this be slowing us down?

Should we also be changing any other settings, to help speed up
logon/logoff?


Thanks
