I am not familiar with Deep Freeze, so I am sure you know better than me. Is the problem not wanting to take the time to write the scripts, or is it the scripts actually running? If you were to create logon scripts or policy preferences that were added to the user account, or user policy on the system would this solve the problem? Maybe you could create a security group that contains students enrolled in that class and apply the policy to it. If this were the case it would only happen when users enrolled in this specific class were using the systems. It would delay their logon times, but from my experience they will likely want frequent changes made each term, or even during the term which would make a more static method un reasonable. Does deep freeze revert everything back to the baseline on start-up, log-in, or even while the person is logged in? Is there a way to change when it reverts everything back? This method may delay logins, but the teachers getting the systems the way they want them for their classes may make them ok with this.

Would the AV be causing write queues? I assume you are actually seeing a degradation of performance, otherwise you would not have noticed right? Any idea how long this has been happening for?

Doing that on 500 systems would suck. I think "But what can I do if I want to do a specific change (something more advanced that simply adding an icon somewhere of course) to the default profile?" needs to be more specific. SCCM can be used to make changes, but sometimes just adding a logon script for a week and then removing it is enough.

. . . .. . . no problem Ethan . . . . . . Lets keep kicking a dead camel on this . . . . . .

Sorry if this is a dumb comment, I did not really research. Off the top of my head my first question would be if the folder permissions are the same on the new and old systems. You can try to create a new test student account, log on and see if you get the error. If you do try changing that account from a student account to a staff account and see if you have the same problem. This may point to a permissions issue.

Which operating system and can you give the policy setting you are trying to apply in this thread? There are too many possibilities to guess. Please provide more info to narrow this down so there are not 100 different things for you to check.

As mentioned with the SSD drives, it is likely the read/write speeds of the drives. This is especially the case for "virgin" users. You need to take into account that files are being written which takes longer than reading.

I am not going to claim experience with this, but assume it is the syncing of the two locations that is causing the problem. You may want to try just having the home drive mapped when the user logs on and asking the users to use their home drive instead of their "my documents". You could even make the mapped home drive take the place of the "my documents" folder on the local system. The only problem with this is if they lose network connectivity they will not have access to the files. If logon problems are an issue and you do not want to wait for the locations to be synced, you may need to rely on them backing up their own crap to the home drive. Maybe even setting the sync options on the folder itself will get around your problem since it will likely take place after the user is already logged on. Please post back with your solution. I am curious to hear what you do.

You mean like adding a logon script for a specific OU, or group?

I actually just created an account to answer this question. Have never seen this forum before, but stumbled on this thread looking for something else. I believe this problem stems from a security update that turned off the explorer authentication feature to remote systems. It had something to do with how the passwords were sent, or tricking a system into authenticating to another. In order to get around this you have to add an "authforward server list" multi string value for the URL you are trying to access. This will allow your system to authenticate to the resource. navigate to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\P arameters\ Create new REG_MULTI_SZ value named: "AuthForwardServerList" with value data "https:// the URL you want with or without wild cards *"
