I'm having a few issues with a specific GPO that's causing 5+ minute delays on logins (not just initial logins either). The server is running Windows Server 2012
I'm adding printers under Users\Control Panel\Printers (GPP), and I have a specific group of users who need access to all printers which is about 20 or so printers at this stage.
I've added one entry in the GPP page for one printer, so I have around 20 GPP entries. I am not running any item level filtering, they should be a straight mapping.
I have confirmed that each printer is successful in the GP results report.
There are four universal printer drivers that are needed (4 brands of printers in the mix of 20, all on universal drivers), so it's not like there are hundreds of mb's to transfer for each login.
Any ideas what could explain the slow logon time? Or should I just resort to logon scripts to map these printers instead.
Cheers

I had resolved this issue by changing all of the printer mappings in GPP to
Update
.I had set them on
Replace
when the slowness was occurring and from what I could gather, every time someone logged onto the machine it would completely re-install all of the printer drivers. And for some people this meant all of the drivers.Now logins are usually quite fast, the initial login after a re-image can be a little on the slow side but every login after that is pretty quick.
