Networked Laptops taking long time to logon
Hi experts
I have some laptops in a school that require strict limited control and capabilities, more so than usual due to the nature of the environment
This therefore means I have to attach a very long list of GPO's to the user accounts connected to the student OU's.
I'm wondering if applying so many GPO's will slow down the logon time significantly. We are using roaming profiles , clients on windows 8.1 , server windowsill server 2012 r2 ....
If so what's the best method to reduce logon time ....
Users have reportedly very slow logon times and I think the bandwidth in some areas of the school are a contributing factor however I'm not ruling out GPO being a big part of the issue
Any suggestion, solutions, advice and guidance welcomes
Many thanks

That can help considerably. How many laptops does the school have, and how many printers are there? That explains quite a bit. And of course, wireless wasn't necessarily helping the cause.

I have now reworked the GPO's attached to the laptops so that they only map the printer that is used primarily, rather than every printer in the school !
Logon times have signifficantly reduced in test enviroment so I will be going live today and hoping for the best!
