Hi,

We experience extended waiting time while logging off windows 2000 after SP4
has been patched. Any ideas how to fix this?

MWGP fumbled, fiddled and fingered:

start
run
type
gpedit.msc

navigate to

Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
System
Logon

Maximum retries to unload and update user profile ...

set enabled and to say 5 ... default if not configured is 60!!
