We have DFS running and configured allright. We make drive-shares in the login-script to the DFS shares. Now is the problem that these shares are very slow compared to the unc-name to the DFS share.
How come and what can we do about it ?

This is not what I mean. The DFS is configures good and working good. We don't use replication at this time.
The problem we have is that when we have a drive-mapping to a DFS-share (ex. G: =\\server.nl\data) the browsing is very slow. When we are browsing on th same DFS-share but to the unc-mapping (ex. \\server.nl\data) it is fast.
What makes teh drive-mapping slow ?
We are using Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows XP SP3 workstations.

For this driveletter the system was looking for the desktop.ini file in all the directories. This because we have a redirection of the document and setting folder. Only the people with the permissions had the problem. We are going to change the redirection. When there is an option to disable looking for the desktop.ini folder everywhere I am interested.
