Slow 2003 domain logins with Roaming Profiles

For a while I’ve been dealing with the issue of slow logins on our 2003 domain. The problem seemed to be with roaming profiles. When the user logs in, the profile is copied from the server to the client. Windows profiles can become large, and can contain a lot of files. I tried to to minimize the size of the profile, but logins were still slow. I took a look at the RAM utilization and I figured out that as the profile was being copied from the server to the client, it was being virus scanned. Scanning through all these files is what was slowing the logins.

If you are suffering from slow domain logging with roaming profiles, check your virus scanner settings.
