I am encountering Slow Logons when Using the Citrix ICA Win32 Client on a Windows 2000 Computer. Can you provide any suggestions that may help?
This document lists possible resolutions for slow logons when running the ICA Win32 Client on Windows 2000. 1. Prior to ICA Client build 6.00.963, logons attempted to write to a licensing key on the client device. This caused a delay while the timeout occurred. However, that issue is resolved with the newest client, 6.00.963. Verify that you are running this version or greater. 2. If drive A is being queried, try disabling client drive mapping. If logon performance improves as a result of client drives not mapping during logon, see the Citrix KB article How to Disable Floppy (A:) Drive Query at Logon . NOTE: This issue appears only with Windows 2000 clients. 3. McAfee Virus Scan has been found to cause the Windows 2000 client to perform very poorly. Other manufacturers` antivirus products could cause similar problems. If an antivirus product is running on the client device, disable it and retest the connection to the MetaFrame server.
