Hi there,
I am doing some fine tuning on a Windows 2008/Citrix server farm. And am trying to improve the login times.
There is an approximately 10-12 second hang on 'applying group policy shortcuts policy'. If I can eliminate or decrease this it will make a significant difference to the users.
The only shortcuts that are being implemented (updated) via gpo are approximately 20 favorites.
The problems is similar to this old thread:

Below is an extract of the userenv log. I believe at the point the login hangs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
