Hey guys,
we are using stateless vdi machines and currently Windows 10 1803. We are using VMware Dynamic Environment Manager for user profiles and uses the vmware optimization tool for the gold image. We are using the "Windows 10 LoginVSI.com VDILIKEAPRO" template in 7.1 version. Everythink is working fine! Now we are trying to switch to Windows 10 1903 and we have sporadically a very very long login time. It tooks around 8-10mins on the "welcome" screen before it will switch to "windows will be prepared".
The VMware Logon Monitor show us a very long time for the user policy part:

But we dont apply any user policies from active directory. Every user setting is coming from DEM.
In the eventlog you can see EventID 6005: The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event
Can someone help?
regards
Alex
I have reverted back to 1803. My management asked me sarcastically are we going to back to start using physical desktops again.
What ESXi Version and VMFS do you use?
Maybe you run into this issue with Win10 1809 and above on VMFS6: Re: windows 10 1809 slow
Best regards

Are you using instant clones? I assume you have DEM logging enabled. Check your logs there and see what’s hanging. Misconfigured logon scripts will show similar symptoms to what you’re reporting.
Did you in-place upgrade your image to 1903, or start from scratch? If IPU, it’s best practice to reinstall your agents in correct order.
