Slow logons at ‘applying registry policy’ stage on a Windows 2003 Citrix Server
Posted on September 24th, 2008
Problem
When a user logs onto a Citrix server, it can take up to 10 minutes at ‘applying registry policy’ during the logon process.
Background
The server specification was as follows:
- Windows 2003 R2 x64 Standard Edition
- Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 HFRP02.
The server was member of an Windows 2003 Active Directory domain with many DC’s spread amongst different sites. It was in an Active Directory ’sites and services’ site group along with many other Citrix servers and configured for 3 DC’s split over 2 physical locations.
