Additional Information
STEPS TO
REPRODUCE:
1) install a Windows 2003 standard server with Terminal Services.
2) install the NWC4.91SP3 and ZDM7SP1HP3 on this server. Enable ZDM logging on this server (KB 3112868).
3) create a user package for the 2003 terminal server.
4) make a user member of this user package
5) from a Windows XP workstation start MSTSC and login to the server created under 2 and for login use the user assigned in step 4
If you check the WMGrpPolUser.log and search for iedkcs32.dll, you will see a "gap" of 20 seconds. If you compare the time needed to apply the group policy between HP1a/HP2 and HP3 you will see that the total is 30 seconds longer.
