That’s a good point. In some cases though, it should be noted that a second relogin may be required before new GP settings are applied, but it definitely makes the user experience better. We use this on laptops (since otherwise they take a long time trying to connect to the network).
Another thing to consider is if Win7 is involved here, to check whether the Enterprise rollup kb 2775511 was installed. I recall that there was a bug where if a GPP contained a query against AD, that it would take a very long time to process. You may have already come across this, but just in case, here are some general pointers that summarize several of the suggestions pointed out: http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2013/05/23/group-policy-and-logon-impact.aspx -Aakash Shah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Shelby Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 10:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Streamlining GPOs Any chance you are forcing synchronous application of GPO? Unless required, you should let them go asynchronously and the user experience will be better (they'll get a desktop before all policy objects apply) Nathan Shelby Director of Systems Engineering – Quote Wizard<https://quotewizard.com/> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> / 206-753-2626 Malo Periculosam Libertatem Quam Quietum Servitium On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 10:29 AM, Kelsey, John <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: We’re seeing significant logon delays due to the high number of GPOs that have to get processed when a user logs in. We’re trying to clean up and reduce the number of things that have to happen in order to get the user logged on faster. If we block all GPOs in our testing, we’ve been able to cut the logon time in half. So either we just have too many GPOs or a couple of them for whatever reason is crushing the logon. Is it more efficient to have 200 GPOs that set 1 item in each one? OR Is it more efficient to have 1 GPO that sets 200 items? OR Does it not make any difference in how long it takes to process?
