Great!!! Your first suggestion (Set maximum wait time...) seems to
fix my problem! Now I can turn my attention som some other delays/
performace problems (not w2k8 related). And then there is the small
"printing from 64-bit clients" problem... Maybe I will get back to
those problems in another post ;-)

Thank's a millon!

Samba 3.4.3 (ldap backend)
Windows 7 Enterprise

I've experienced the identical symptoms with Windows 7 ENT and found this
workaround.

When the following local GPO is left in its default setting Samba domain
logons are delayed for 30 seconds: "Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\User Profiles\Set maximum wait time for the network if
the user has a roaming user profile or remote home directory."

Enable this and set the value to 0 to work around this timeout.  The
timeout does not occur when logging into an Active Directory PDC running
Server 2008 R2.  I have not tested this with w2k8 R2 client.

In addition, if the user's desktop is set to a solid background color
logons of any kind (local, AD, samba) will be delayed by 30 seconds.  Set
the background to any .jpg image or apply Microsoft's hotfix to work
around this issue.  This is a cumulative timeout; that is, if the above
timeout is in affect and the solid background color timeout is also in
affect the delay is 60 seconds.

I also experienced a 30 second timeout when I set the local GPO to "Run
logon scripts synchronously".  This problem has inexplicably vanished and
I can't replicate it though I don't see it listed in any Windows 7
updates.  Might have been happening to me with Windows 7 PRO.  I'll check
that if anyone is interested.  The fix was to apply an old Vista reg
setting.  Can be Googled as "Vista Run logon scripts synchronously".

Not much. I attached a screendump from Wireshark. This capture is made
on the w2k8 machine. The traffic shown is sent to/from the ethernet
address of the w2k8 machine. Remote Desktop traffic is excluded
(the machine is used as a terminal server).

Hello!

From what I can see, there is no DNS-traffic around the time of the
gaps and the DNS-activity I can see in onther places seems ok. There
is almost no network traffic and no CPU activity during the gaps so
it looks like some kind of timeout issue.

It may be of interest that, for the moment, IPv6 is beeing used.
Sometimes we also have quite a long delay if we click on the "View
computers and devices" link in the "Network and Sharing Center".

Is there any other traffic coming out of the client box around the delay
time ?

Jeremy.
