I have some computers labs that are slow to login on the first login (2 - 3 minutes on initial login)
Subsequent logins are much faster (30-45 seconds) but the first login is the first impression, so I have a lot of students thinking that my labs are slow.
I'm trying to use the performance trace as part of the ADK, however, I can't test user login, I can only test my login, which of course will be quick because I've logged in before. I have to be logged in to run the trace and I have to be the same user.
What can I do to run a trace and figure out what's causing the delay on initial user login?
Also, I have many startup programs because the lab software likes to load a bunch of garbage that runs on startup and their transforms when doing the silent install don't allow me to configure the background processes. Is there any way I
can block those startup programs using group policy without blocking the executable entirely?
