  • 1.  Local Login on Windows XP takes a long time when Symantec Management Agent is installed.

    Hello everybody,

    when a user wants to login on his computer with a local account (no domain login!) it takes over a minute, until the Desktop symbols and taskbar appears.

    I found out when I uninstall Symantec Management Agent the login takes about 5 seconds.

    On other computers with Symantec Management Agent installed the login is normal with a few seconds.

    What could be the problem? Can I change the service order at which time a service is starting?

     

    Thanks, David

    Do both machines have the same version of the agent installed?

    Same, or different Plug-Ins?

    Hello,

    yes, both machines have the same agent installed, and the same Plugins.

    Installation and Plugin distribution is made by Altiris Software Management Console.

     Do you have policies or jobs/Tasks setup to start "At Computer Startup"?  This cans slowdown logging on.  It could also depend on the hardware. Old equipment lag compared to new.
