You are correct, somehow the Authenticated Users was added to the Delegation tab, unless it was inherited, but I doubt that. Does it say No under the inherited column? Not sure what you mean by this: And does this mean that the groups defined in the Security Filtering section will

It definitely wasn't inherited. One thing I have noticed though if you add the Authenticated Users group through the Security Filtering function you get *Read* *and* *Apply GPO* permissions. If you add it through the Delegation tab you can only apply Read permissions unless you go through the

No, Authenticated Users will not be running the GPO. You have to have the Apply Group Policy right in order for it to apply. Either by adding it manually through the Advanced button on the Delegation tab, or by using the security filtering tab, which does it for you, Having only read does not

Thanks, I now have a full understanding of what's going on. Looks like I will have to dig elsewhere to find the cause of the massive logon hangs. Cheers, JR On 14 November 2012 13:46, Christopher Bodnar christopher_bod...@glic.comwrote: No, Authenticated Users will not be running the GPO.

.Just tossing out a random thought having had this issue before. Do you have any machine or user logon scripts running? I had one hang a few years ago trying to find a share on a server that was removed...it created a massive delay for the users it was applied to. From: James Rankin

There's all sorts in the mix here, including logon scripts. I'm digging through the whole lot now On 14 November 2012 14:01, Kennedy, Jim kennedy...@elyriaschools.orgwrote: .Just tossing out a random thought having had this issue before. Do you have any machine or user logon scripts running?

Well you were on the right track Jim - there is a quite long logon script in use here, but it was also accompanied by the Group Policy setting of *Run logon scripts synchronously *being set to *Enabled. *Disabling this setting shaves two minutes off the logon time instantly. Thanks for your help

I was thinking I at least need to make sure to change where the old PDCe gets it's time source from once you transfer roles, or does it know to change as part of the FSMO role move? Transferring roles, I just use the MMC and move and everything else will take care of itself yes? From: Ken

Might check this out. We had similar issues because the computers didn't have a DHCP lease when the drives were mapped so the mapping failed. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2459530 From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 7:33 AM To: NT

Looks very promising, but these are 32 bit Win7 boxes. That is only a 64 bit fix but I will certainly give the reg entries a try. From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:crawfo...@evangel.edu] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 1:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Win 7 wireless mapped drives
