Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any tips for reducing the time taken for a users first logon. We’re a school running a 2k3 domain with Windows XP clients. A while ago we ditched roaming profiles due to a number of problems with them, especially over wireless. But because our users move between machines heavily, and the machines are re-imaged regularly that means that every logon is basically a first logon for them. And a first logon takes about 2-3 minutes. Teachers are very sensitive to time lost out of their 45 minute lessons, so if I can find a way of making logons quicker, they’d be quite happy.
I presume the reason this is slow is because the user profile is being created from the default user profile on the machine. Do I need to look at what’s in the default user profile maybe?
Thanks.
