Machines go to standby and there are issues with it cleanly waking upĪ couple of weeks back, by luck, I was in the ICT suite alone running some tests.
The IGMP routing packets are needed for something.Ģ. No errors as such appear in the Windows machines event logs either.ġ. As routing is now done in TMG, we have all the routing logs available and, apart from IGMP multicast packets to (off the top of my head) 224.0.0.22 being blocked by the firewall, everything seems explainable. However, whilst random blank desktops and the like have now gone away, the hang on Welcome screen persists. This has since been resolved and the AD server just now has the single NIC. As a result, default gateways changed and initially we incorrectly has a routing issue with the AD machine having multiple NIC's causing intermittent LDAP failures. The 4 subnets we originally routed using RRAS on the main server, but this has since changed to doing to routing on a TMG Firewall box as part of Forefront TMG. The network topology change was a change to the routing.
#Windows 7 welcome screen slow update
However, about a month back, the network topology was changed and it is possible that the issue crept in with this, masked with another issue since probably resolved (no reported re-occurrence) - however, that week was a major update from Microsoft plus Java, Flash, Acrobat all wanted to do their updates, so alot was going on that week. The ICT servers and clients were a new in the summer, so it was a clean build. Unfortunately, being random and a small school, the small percentage of times that a machine logs in having the issue and these things do not get reported in a timely manner or simply being grouped under 'machine didn't work', its been difficult to get an exact idea of when this problem started occuring. Last this week we left one of the machines for over 5 hours with the icon rotating before we had to crash it out. I do not believe that it is terminal, as I have left a machine over the weekend with the 'Welcome' screen spinning icon constantly rotating only to find the machine fully fit the following Monday.
#Windows 7 welcome screen slow windows 7
We are starting to apparently randomly see Windows 7 hang at the 'Welcome' screen when logging in.
I have tried searching for this and found similar, but sufficiently different to believe that the reports were not the same.
