Hello. I am using KiXtart for my company's logon script. For the majority of users, who are attached to our network at 10Mb/Full Duplex or 100Mb/Full Duplex, the script runs very quickly and efficiently. Howerver, we have a number of users who either 1) dial into the network over a 56Kbs modem, or 2) remote into the network via VPN. For these users, it may take up to 15 minutes to complete the logon script.

Through testing and trace analysis, there appears to be two delays. The first occurs at logon time, and my suspicions are that it takes some time for the kix32.exe to be downloaded into memory to run. The second delay occurs when an ingroup() function queries for the user's domain groups. This can take anywhere from 5-7 minutes to complete. We are using the "/f" commandline option to refresh the group membership cache every logon time. Would removing this help? Any suggestions on reducing the time it is taking for logon to complete would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
