Windows 7 machines hanging on policies

[scholes99]

Over the last few months we have been getting windows 7 clients hanging on policies for a long time before they reach ctrl+alt+del.

 

It is different policies such as [h=1]applying computer settings[/h][h=1]applying group policies[/h]Applying user settings

 

 

 

Anyone had this issue before? or what policy is causing this issue

You should enable Verbose status messages which is a group policy setting you can enable. I cannot remember where it is set right now sorry. This should let you know which policy`s are being applied and which ones are taking a while to apply.

 

I have found before I disabled and removed offline files from out Windows 7 clients they would very often hang on policy such as folder redirection and and applying printer policy's. Are they wireless clients?

Simply bad networking in one area caused this problem for us.

They are all wired desktop HP 3120 sff clients.

I will take a look at your suggestion though

I'd Try:

Disabling any non-microsoft services

Enabling verbose loggings as mentioned abov

See if anyone has done any polices changes recently

check the event logs on the machines.

Any recent MS updates

 

I had this occasionally before atfter deploying a printer but it settled down after upgrading the driver.
