I came across an article that made a tip stating “As a best practice tip, don’t combine Group Policy Settings and Group Policy Preferences in the same Group Policy Object. Due to the way Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences get applied, combining them will add significantly to the boot and logon times in your environment.”
What is the general consensus here? I don’t have any other sources to back this up other than this article. Any seasoned GP pros out there have personal experiences with this? I have combined preferences w/ policies and it takes less than 4 seconds to process if no changes are detected. Even if changes are made, I don’t see a significant increase in logon times.
Any comments are appreciated!
Thanks.
