Slow first login

[ataylor]

Hi,

 

We are currently experiencing slow first logins with our W7 machines (XP are pretty fast) the login usually tend to be 2 minutes or more. Once the user has loged in once there login is only about 10-20 seconds. If I delete the local profile the problem will occur again.

 

I have tried a variety of things to try and find the source of the problem. I have tried stopping all GPO and any start up scripts to one of the accounts but the issue still occurs. It even happens with my personal administrator account on the network. But it dose not happen with your Main network administrator account which we use to set up the machines.

 

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Adam

What is the size of the profile being created and is it wired or wireless? Sounds like a bloated default profile to me, check the temp folders, Java etc as they can easily increase the size by 400Mb...

there are a bunch of Hotfixes for windows 7, that dont come down through the normal WSUS and need to be installed manually, some of which address the windows 7 slow login issue.

The profile sizes are about 22mb on creation. It is also a Wired connection.

For one of my sites is came down to the wireless access not being up to grade.

 

What happens when you log on with an administrative login?

[ataylor]

The administrative login that we use for General use (setting up the machines) logs on straight away. My personal administrative logon is just as slow as a normal user logging on.

Any other idea?
