Roaming profile users experience slow logons on Windows 7

SYPTOMS:
Roaming profile users experience slow logons on Windows 7.


RESOLUTION:
- Check the network cables, workstation hardware etc. and change it if required.

- Check the size of the profile (Create Quotas via Policy) and delete some files.

- Check if the correct network card drivers are installed on affected workstations.

- Check if the network path is working in your policy or user object defined for Roaming Profile.

- Check the permissions on the Server are set right.

- Check this hotfix if you implemented the described scenario in the MS article.


 STEPS FOR THE FUTURE:
- Exclude some folders from roaming to reduce the profile size
Apply the following settings via GPO:
GPO Path: "User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles"
"Exclude directories in roaming profile" set to "Enabled"
For example type in the following: AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org

 - Create Quotas via Policy
GPO Path: "User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles"
Set the settings for the Policy "Limit profile size"
