Slow windows 7 Logins

[lholland421]

Hi All, I am currently testing our new file server after issues with High CPU. I have managed to lower the CPU but now when users are logging in the logins take ages. Most of the time is spent with a little box at the top left "setting up personalized settings"

 

Any idea if this is related to the file server or something else? Anyone had this before?

 

Thanks

I would first check event viewer on a machine that is taking a long time to login for profile or group policy issues. What did you do to 'lower the cpu' on your fileserver?

Disabled virtual machine Ques to lower the cpu but now when I enable it the cpu doesn't go up again. Event viewer has nothing in it.

xperf has been replaced by Windows Performance Analyzer, which has got wizards built in, and allows you to drill right down quickly to see where the delays are.

Would i run the performance analyzer on the client machine?

Initially, as by definition you have filtered all the possible data to that relating only to things going on while a given machine is logging on.

Thanks for Your help guys, Managed to sort it (touch Wood). We have been having issues with our file server and with several attempts at fixing that i ended up with 4 dns records for the file server and somehow 6 for our domain. Once i cleaned those up it seems to be working okay. Been okay since Monday morning.

 

Thanks all
