RE: [ActiveDir] Security Logs

2003-09-25 Thread Steve Rochford
I think I'd create a web page which uses WMI to query the logs and displays (say) the last half hour's data or asks for a username and then shows the data relevant to that user - a quick google gives http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20010614a.asp which looks like a good starting point. Steve

First thoughts are: -Roaming profiles aren't very quick ever, especially if the server storing them is on a different network -There could be a problem with the MTU sizes involved across the VPN concentrators. Do a search on Technet for PMTU and see if you can set a client's MTU size in the

On point two below, I will say that we have had a problem before. If a script has an error and prompts for something (or just keeps trying a task), it will do so until the timeout you have set for Group Policy elapses. The default is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes), but we changed ours to 6

Do you have ADSI in your logon scripts? We suffered with an issue where the ADSI call in the logon script was forcing the Active Directory sub-schema to be downloaded (approx 600KB in our case) at every logon. This wouldn't explain 25 minute logon time but every little helps :-) Paul Marsh
