Group Policy settings are grouped into categories (Admin Templates, Security, Folder Redirection, Software Installation, Group Policy Preferences, etc.) Each category has a specific CSE (client-side extension) to process them, and each CSE has its own rules for doing the processing. We will try to offer some insight in this article as to how you can try to invoke the asynchronous mode where possible. However, depending on the user configuration and the Group Policies in use, sometimes the synchronous process is unavoidably required. Obviously, an asynchronous process is better. Put simply, the user’s Group Policy (which are applied when they log on to the machine) can be applied one-by-one (synchronously) or all together (asynchronously). There are a number of factors that can play into this, such as filters, CSEs, number of settings, etc., but one of the considerations that people sometimes forget about is synchronous versus asynchronous processing mode. As I alluded to in my logon times article (which I’ve presented on in further depth a number of times, and will be doing again for the Norwegian user group as a masterclass in June), timely processing of your Group Policies is very important. This has been a subject I’ve wondered about for a while. Do you want quicker logons in a XenApp AD GPO environment? You do? OK, then…
