#162410 - 2006-05-24 03:16 PM Slow login script on ONE computer
jbelew jbelew Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-24 Posts: 23 Loc: Knoxville, TN	For some reason, I have one computer out of roughly 80 that processes my KiXtart login script very slowly. It takes around 80 seconds and the rest of the computers average about 5-10 seconds. I have checked and double-checked all of the network settins, patch cables, etc. Once he is logged on, the user has no trouble at all on the network. Thanks, Jason

Has anyone else ran into a simliar issue and, if so, can you share with me any information that might aid me in resolving it? Furthermore, Jochen, as there is no obvious support in your reply, thanks for the cynicism! Jason

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	If the user logs onto an other system the script runs ok? Is it also slow with other users on the specific system? You already said that the network settings and cables and stuff are all ok so if it is juts pinned down to just this one computer I'd re-image the system or if kix32 or wkix32 are copied to the local machine maybe replacing it with afresh copy could help.

jbelew jbelew Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-24 Posts: 23 Loc: Knoxville, TN	That was where I was heading with it. I just thought I would see what everyone else had to offer. It is tied to that machine, regardless of who logs into it.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Try a start of the logon script with kix32.exe /f to flush the token cache... just to be on the safe side. Maybe start the task manager during the logon script to verify it is not the kix32 process itself (In this case you might want to replace the local kix32.exe) [edit] post the bat file and the logon script if possible[/edit] Edited by Jochen (2006-05-24 04:03 PM) _________________________

jbelew jbelew Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-24 Posts: 23 Loc: Knoxville, TN	I do call it with the /f switch. I just now replaced the local kix executables and have asked the user to test it for me -- he's in another location. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from him.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	I would do the following: 1) Make a copy of you login script, give it a new name. 2) Put tons of tracers messages in it, like this: ; code ?"Now mapping drive... press any...." get$ ; code ?"Now doing something else ... press any...." get$ ; code 3) Promote it to NETLOGON and assign this script to a test user. 4) Login and take notes ... your trying to pinpoint in your script, what is taking all time. 5) Refine your tracers and re-promote - keep doing this until you pinpoint the problem. 6) Check your application eventlog on workstation for Kixtart messages.

jbelew jbelew Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-24 Posts: 23 Loc: Knoxville, TN	It must have been the local executables. After replacing them, the script ran fine. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Five stars for everyone!

mole mole Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-01-01 Posts: 81 Loc: Indian Head, Maryland, USA	I encountered a system exhibiting symptoms like this in one of my chemistry labs. Anybody who logged in the script ran slow. Replaced the local Kix32 executable, etc. The solution was to remove the network adapter via add/remove hardware in the control panel. Reboot, let the system redetect the NIC and apply the latest drivers from the vendor. All was normal after that. Had it not been a fairly unique setup I'd have blow it away with a reimage right from the start. mole Edited by mole (2006-05-28 03:11 PM) _________________________ mole Who is John Galt?
