[Samba] User profile service hangs, very slow logon after profile migration
Hi, The DC is a Samba 3.4.5 on OpenBSD. After a migration from Windows 2003 server with XP clients to 2008r2 server with Win7Pro clients the logon procedure hangs for at least 30 secs up to 30min with the message "User profile service ..." on every machine regardless if they logon on a local computer on the domain or to a terminalserver (win2008r2). Now, for testing purposes I created a new profile and voil?: This runs smoothly and fast. The logon is under 2 seconds. I compared this with a profile which was migrated and clearly has to entry on the samba server: <username>/ and <username>.V2/ My new profile only exists as: <mynewprofile>.V2/ Both are around the same size (20mb), the network connection is a stable 100mbit ethernet wiring, the load of the samba server is negligible etc. So no bottleneck here so far. Is it possible that the migrated profiles are the source of the slowness? Is there any other solution than deleting and re-creating all profiles? thank you for your help Mathias

[Samba] User profile service hangs, very slow logon after profile migration
I found a "solution" which solves my problem: Start on the client gpedit.msc Set maximum wait time for the network if a user has a roaming user profile or remote home folder setting and configure Wait for network for maximum option is 0 seconds under Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles. Activate Do not detect slow network connections under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon This fixed my issue, the logon now takes roughly between 3-45 seconds depending on how much data is storred in the roaming profile.
