slow log in

Hi
I am having an issue with slow log on speeds, i have enabled verbose logging through gpo to see where the issue is coming from it seems that folder redirection is causing the issue. Users are having to wait up to 5 minutes to access there machines. Any ideas on how this could be improved on?

cheers

By enabling Verbose logging, you've added more load to the server. This is probably causing the slowdown. i suggest turning it off and performing maintenance on the server and workstations before re-enabling it again.

Disable your verbose logging. Make sure your desktop NIC card dns server setting pointing to your DNS server.

How are you handling printers? Printer drivers get loaded at login.
