First thing to suspect is the size of the OU it is focused on when opening, which is typically the last OU it was focused on when it closes. We have 2 Ous here which are huge and this usually causes the problem.
Check the View / Filter Options / Maximum Number of Items to display, set it to 1000 (the default) if it has been changes, then save and close, see what happens. Other thing to check. Make sure ADUC is not focused on trying to execute a Huge or intensive Saved Query, because for us, if it is not the Filter size , it is the Saved query causing the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: July 12, 2005 2:59 PM To: ActiveDir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADUC Extremely Slow Does DSA open on an OU with a lot of objects in it, such as users or contacts and the number of objects to be displayed has been modified ? Or have custom mmc views been created in the same mmc snap in and multiple mmc snapins open at the same time. Try creating an mmc snapin, withjust the DSA snapin in it, and close it whilst on an ou with very little in it. Is it faster?

Basically, launching it takes several minutes and expanding an OU or getting object properties takes a long time (and sometimes just fails completely). This is locally on the DC that holds all FSMO roles and is a GC. The ADUC shows that it is looking to the local machine when it finally comes up. I suspected DNS but the machine looks to itself for primary DNS and over a slow WAN link for secondary. Pings and nslookup respond quickly. What is the process ADUC goes through when launching and displaying objects?
