Logon Delays

Many of our users are experiencing a 45 second delay when attempting to logon to our network wirelessly. We are using home folders, which then adds another 10 seconds to the total amount of time elapsed between entering logon information and actually being logged in. We were wondering if any of this time is being used by Casper in the authentication process, and if so, can it be trimmed or eliminated. As an experiment, we tried logging in wirelessly to an iMac that was not imaged by Casper, and the amount of time until home folder syncing began seemed to be cut in half. Obviously, this was not a conclusive test, but it led us to question whether using Casper for imaging was part of our logon delay issue. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
I had some issues also with my laptops. Turns out I had the Jss server inside our intranet and of course took 1-2 min for the JAMF daemon to quick trying to get the policies, etc
At the end I added a Nat entry on the internet and bingo!!.

Could this be also your issue??
Cheers
