User Logon Process - Applying GPOs (Phase 2) Duration (Alert)

Summary

Helps to identify a user whose logon process – phase 2 (applying Group Policy Objects) was very slow.

During this phase the server applies user settings defined on the Domain Controller.

Configuration

Overridable parameters:

• IntervalSeconds – monitoring interval (default = 300)

• InfoThreshold – duration is seconds (default = 120)

• WarningThreshold – duration in seconds (default = 180)

• CriticalThreshold – duration in seconds (default = 240)

Causes

Reasons for a slow logon phase can be:

• issues with the required infrastructure (required services and components are either not running or configured as expected),

• issues with network and domain controller availability,

• system time is not configured correctly,

• high network load, or

• a large number of policy settings.
