Local Login on Windows XP takes a long time when Symantec Management Agent is installed.
Created: 04 Sep 2012 | 3 comments
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.
Would you like to reply?
