I would appreciate some help debugging my windows 2008 profile service. Any domain account that logs on to my 2008 machine gets a +- 20 second waiting time on "user profile service"
I am using roaming profiles, they are around 8mb in size, and most folders are already redirected to a network share.
event log registers no errors, there is more than 1 network card installed, but I have the correct card listed as "primary"
Is there any way to increase verbosity of logging on specifically the "user profile service" ?
Regards
Jeroen

How long does it take for an account to logon that is not configured for a roaming profile?
You may want to try running a packet capture during one of the logons.

You can also use Sysinternals Process Monitor to track activity:

The user profile service (profsrv) will not show up directly in task manager. It is hosted under one of the svchost.exe processes. If you run Process Explorer and mouse over the svchost processes, it will display which services each is hosting. When you find the one for the user profile service, you can filter the Process Monitor output by that pid.
