Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting appears to 'hang' when importing WTS properties. (NETIQKB5986)

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.40

symptom
Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting appears to 'hang' when importing WTS properties.

cause
Importing WTS properties can take a considerable amount of time.  The performance issue is due to the Microsoft API call that is used to gather the WTS property information.

fix
It is recommended that the importing of WTS properties be done overnight or on the weekends.  Version DRA 6.40 and above displays the following warning message when WTS properties are selected:

'Importing WTS properties may take a long time and severely impact the performance of your Administration server.  You can import the WTS properties as a scheduled job to run at night or on a weekend.'
