WINXP Logon Times (IE Branding =S)

[BKGarry]

Right,

 

Logon Speads are about 30secs her (i here complaints all the time) The Main bulk of 20secs is Due to Internet Explorer Branding Policy, But there is next to nothing set, any ideas on what to remove in GPO and where to spead it up.

IE6 or IE7?

[BKGarry]

Mostly 7. But still some running 6

Ok, you may wish to review this thread on the Citrix forums and read Microsoft KB 899409. Then feel free to curse and swear.

WHAT!!!!!!!

Sorry for a dead thread revival but do people still get this issue? I reckon there's a 10 second or so lag in my logon times but wonder if this is all still valid?

On IE7 \ XP SP3 fully patched and updated when re-imaged this summer...

So it is still an issue then... might try the hotfix and reg patch on a spare PC and if it's worth it time for SMS to the rescue

[gshaw]

Bit of a dead thread revival but we still have this issue

 

The hotfix won't install as it's not made for SP3 but even with the reg key the lag is still there. Gonna try IE8 next but that's not exactly a fix as we may still need IE7 on the image next year... some people have the issue with 8 as well :S

 

This seems to be similar to our situation... don't get what Microsoft are doing???

How about using the IE8 (SP3) update, although IE7 is installed?
