HI all,
My issue is logon time.
I have DC1 and DC2 and file servers on same site, DFS is running on both DCs. All fsmo roles are in DC1.
- I isolate DC2 on its own internal network,
- file servers are previously replicated from prod and running in the internal network.
- I add 1 user machine to this network and test the logon.
- it takes 5 to 6 min, stuck on welcome screen, then successfully login and I can access all dfs shares.
Using Process monitor on the user machine, I can see that there is a process that takes around 75 seconds repeating 4 times.
class: file system
operation : ReadFile
resuilt : success
path : \\mydcname\pipe\netdfs
duration : 75 s
So it appears to be related to accessing the DFS,
If I compare logon wiith same user machine in domain network, then this task takes only few miliseconds.
No relevant events on DC2 I can find and relevant logs in windows\debug\
I can't access DFS namespace from server manager in DC2 too. I understand that's normal as it doesn't have pdc role.
Domain functional level : windows 2003
Any tips to advance ?
thanks
