Hello, I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 Everything seems fine, however if I log into a domain account, Windows is now painfully slow. This is kind of curious, as task manager reports no CPU load and no network load. If I log out and back in again with a local/non-domain account, then everything runs at full speed again. Furthermore, if I disconnect the network some non-network operations don't seem to work any more. I had a theory that maybe the domain login script is slowing things down however there doesn't seem to be any evidence to justify this. Any ideas? Brian May
Hello Assuming that you have Windows 7 Professional / Enterprise or Ultimate, try going into Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), navigate to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System and then User Profiles. Open the setting in the list "Set maximum wait time for the network if a user has a roaming user profile or remote home directory", change it to enabled and set wait for network for maximum to 0 and then OK. I use Windows Vista where I had exactly the same problem, even when I disable and never use roaming profiles.
