Windows – Central store causes slolwness in gpmc and when you edit a gpo

group-policywindowswindows-server-2008

i created a central store because i was dealing with the point and print windows 2008 issue, the thing is some of my dc are behind slow vpns, so, in those dc when you try to edit a gpo with administrative templates take very long to load.

There is a way to fix this?, or there is a way i can remove the central store safely?

You should be setting up Active Directory Sites and Services so that you only connect to Domain Controllers in your site. This will prevent you from trying to access DCs across the VPN link unless all of the DCs in your site are down.

You should be doing this for more than GPMC responsiveness, since it means that your client authentication traffic and GPO processing is happening across the VPN link as well.
