Group Policy Preferences Printer Mapping too slow

Asked by Perlo in Active Directory, Printers, Windows Server 2008

Tags: GPO Preferences, Printserver

Environment:
Citrix XenApp (all on Windows Server 2008 SP2)
AD 2003
Printserver Windows Server 2008 SP2

I'd like to use GPO Preferences for printer mapping. I set up the printer mapping using the create or replace option. So far everything works fine. The printer gets mapped but the user logon time (part of printer mapping) takes much to long. In the event log on the citrix Server(where the user logs on) I have following entries:
Description:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon
Date:          04.11.2009 06:53:08

Description:
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logon).

Description:
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> took 75 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).

This is the time it takes for only 1 printer. Do I map more then one printer the logon prozess takes far too long. Do I use the normal Logon script (Kix) for printer mapping it is much faster.

I played around with different options on the general and common tab of the printer preferences but with no change in logontime. I use Item-level targeting with "user is member of the security group"

Any advice for correction on the gpo preferences?
