Troubleshooting slow Windows logon time with MAP - How?

Our company recently had a presentation by an MVP and just as a comment he mentioned they had used MAP to find out why a computer had slow logon time. By using MAP they had identified the source to be a setting in a group policy. He did not explain more
about the subject.
I have downloaded MAP-toolkit now and I am not sure how to proceed. I have completed Inventory where I simply specified the one computer with slow logon time. 100% inventory success. Then I ran the Performance metrics and had it run for 1 hour. The computer
was restarted during the one hour so that we would hopefully register the slow logon
After the Performance Metrics collection was complete, we check the results, but cannot find where in the report to look for any issues.
Come to think of it, maybe the Performance Metrics is the wrong report..? Maybe another collection and report should be used for this, but I can't see which one.

there are
manygoodblogarticles around that
describe possible troubleshooting scenarios. Which one will prove the best will highly depend on he root cause of the issue.
Allthough MAP might offer quite a lot of info on boot and login phase, I think it might not be the best way to go on this.

MOVED: 880gm-e43 with Crucial SSD = very slow windows boot times

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
From your description, I see the issue you are facing is there is no menu to choose OS when booting dual boot(Windows 7 & Windows 8). Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
It seems that the Windows 7 entry is missing, currently, we can use a tool –
EasyBCD to get it back. After downloading it, choose the Add/Edit panel item, select the OS you're missing and let the program detect it. Then simply click the Add button to add the missing OS entry.
At the meantime, here is a related link which demonstrates how to keep Windows 7 as the default OS in dual boot, you may use it for a reference.

Slow Windows 7 PC with SCCM - WMI...?

Hi All,
We use System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3 to provide on demand applications and software metering to Windows 7 SP1 X86 (we use <acronym title="Windows Server Update Services">WSUS and WDS </acronym>entirely independently
of SCCM 2007 R3).
This year, we had a progressive slowdown of PCs. I've eliminated hardware, software, networking, the base image, home directory shares, <acronym title="Windows Server Update Services">WSUS</acronym>/updates, etc. Users don't
have admin rights. If I deploy an identical image into a .VHD on the same physical computer (using native .VHD boot), it performs as expected. With hardware, networking, AD, etc being identical, This leaves with applications and printer drivers.
We did discover the service hosting WMI was very busy, then discovered the WMI database
C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository\OBJECTS.DATA
was large - 500Mb. (by contrast, out-of-the-box Windows 7 SP1 x86 is about 15Mb). Microsoft's WMIDIAG
Download The WMI Diagnosis Utility -- Version 2.1 from Official Microsoft Download Center considers +300MB as very large.
Sure you're all familiar WMI is queried by and published to by lots of different parts of the system; slow WMI, slow system.
We have some PCs with SSDs, but the WMI file is some sort of database that I don't think was ever engineered to scale to these sizes. Hence even a fast physical disk won't resolve this.
I've been doing some deeper analysis based on
Troubleshooting WMI Repository Bloat - System Center Blog by Russ Slaten - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
Troubleshooting WMI Repository Bloat - System Center Blog by Russ Slaten - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
I've gathered some data and wondered if I could share it with colleagues, with the hope that if I show you mine you'll show me yours...
Have put up my own data, and methods to gather the data, at

Would *really* appreciate replies. Am not familiar with this stuff, and only done it at my current employer, so I have no "context" of what's OK and what's not.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply.
We have a large fleet of PCs. On 4 of them (in fact, the 4 from the spreadsheet!) I
- applied KB2775511
- configured WMI to run in a separate process (as recommended by a Microsoft SCCM guru - forget who, where and when)
- initiated a reset of the repository (winmgmt /resetrepository) (as NOT recommended by a Microsoft SCCM guru - forget who, where and when, but which appears to be common (routine?) practice; we've also observed Windows PCs will do this themselves
when they've decided enough is enough).
- waited while SCCM 2007 R3 client relearnt about all of the advertisements (300+ advertisements, but because each may contain multiple programs, the CCM_SoftwareDistribution class has in excess of 700 records).
I've configured the computers to
- logon
- wait 60 seconds
- restart
and repeat this endlessly with a set of 5 different IDs each. I did this before and after the actions I mentioned above.
I'm using a simple metric - how long from the previous logoff to the current logon (as recorded by actions performed in logon/logoff scripts. This is a good metric for us because it covers the "Please wait..." [startup] and "Welcome" [logon] delays
that most affect users.
I saw average improvements of about 10 seconds on two of the PCs, and around 90 seconds on two other PCs. Which is definitely good!
HOWEVER, this isn't very dissimilar to re-imaging the PC, which I *know* resets performance back to "acceptable". I expect performance to degrade again. However, I don't know precisely how or when or why.
I discovered that each user logging on to SCCM-managed PCs will get their *OWN* set of WMI classes [not just records - actual classes, whose name includes their RID] created. As a University, we provide a set of PCs for many thousands of students to
use at "random". Our most popular PCs may have hundreds of different students logging on. Their WMI repository will accummulate large numbers of WMI classes.
I've since discovered that we perform a hardware and software inventory everyday. I don't think this will be helping.
Under the hood, it seems that
- the SCCM server hosts policies, and the server will evaluate the *actual* set of policies to apply to each PC (taking into account inheritance, exceptions, ACLs, WMI filters, etc, etc, etc)
- the SCCM client will replicate these policies locally
- the SCCM client will then endeavour to implement these policies, keeping a record of results in WMI
- the SCCM client will replicate results back to the SCCM server
Hence the SCCM client (itself - excluding servers) appears to be, in effect, a 3 tier application server in itself
- the database tier is provided by WMI
- the application tier is CCM Exec
- the database and application tiers are available via the WinRM service
- the client tier is more-or-less Windows itself
These are merely my observations of what I've uncovered over the last few days. I could be completely wrong :-)
Kind regards,
Anwar

Differentiating Between Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded with MAP Tool

Hi All,
I have a customer who has multiple Windows XP Embedded Thinclients. When he runs the MAP tool they show up as Windows XP devices. I have personally not seen this yet since he hasn't shared the MAP data yet but does anyone know if the MPA tool
can differentiate between Windows XP desktops and Windows XP embedded Thinclients or are they all lumped together? Does the MAP tool show for example versioning that might help differentiate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When queried by MAP, the WMI service in the Windows XPe machines are reporting back as “Microsoft Windows XP Professional” and since MAP can only report what WMI tells it, that is what shows up in the reports. This is an artifact of Windows XPe because it
starts out as a full version of XP Pro and then each OEM can choose what parts they want to remove, if any. If the OEMs don’t modify the WMI class to show the product as XP Embedded, it will continue to show up with its original description of Windows XP Professional.

Optical disk slowing down boot time with z77 gd55

I recently hooked up an optical drive to a gd55 motherboard, after the windows 7 logo is formed now there is a 15 or so second long pause that wasn't there before. If i insert a disk into the drive the pause is gone as well. If anyone knows of a setting to stop this please help,

I found another similar to what Wonkanoby found. Perhaps your problem is you may need the firmware update.

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

Windows 8 Logon times default user profile size

With the addition of Chromebooks and other devices that boot in 3 seconds, we are re-evaluating our Windows 8 environment. Windows 8 does boot up much quicker, but our domain logon times are still 2+ minutes or more if there is no user profile.
So I took our policies down to the bare minimum to see what is really taking forever for computers to log on.
Using unattend.xml, we use the copyprofile flag to customize the default desktop experience for our users. The default profile then becomes 185MB and I'd like to try and reduce that to improve logon times when no profile exists. The
following folders are where the majority of space is being used and I want to know if I can delete them in the default user profile.
25MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\explorer - Icon and Tile Cache
40MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\WebCache - log files in machine language
7MB c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\notification
7MB c:\users\default\appdata\locallow\adobe\shockwave player 11\xtras\download\adobesystemsincorporated
3MB c:\users\deafult\appdata\roaming\microsoft\Bibliography
4MB c:\users\deafult\appdata\roaming\microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\15\Built-in Building Blocks.dotx
How fast can I make it? I used autologon registry keys to logon to a domain account (non-administrator). Timings are from totally off to viewing the Start Screen.
The BIOS on our HP 6306 takes about 12 seconds to even start booting Windows 8 and so the total boot time till the start menu shows is 25 seconds with Windows 8 taking 13 seconds to boot and logon. That is really, really nice.
So then I added 3 mapped drives (not redirection) and one printer to the group policy and that didn't add any time once the profile was created.
Creating a profile is what really slows down the logon process. Granted this is much after after the profile is done, but the vast manjory of our machines are public with random students/staff logging on to them.
More testing to come.

Were you able to reduce the size of the default profile?

First-Logon Times Are Unacceptable in Windows 10

So far, we have found several issues with Windows 10 Enterprise, but our biggest issue -- by far -- is with the time it takes to logon a new user for the first time. This was also an issue in Windows 8.1 and is also the reason we largely skipped Windows
8.1 where I work.
The time it takes for a user's first logon is too long, even when we disable the "Show first sign-in animation" setting. I work at a large community college where employees and students frequently bounce from one computer
to another in the computer labs, often never using the same computer twice. They login using their domain credentials.
With new 7200 RPM hard drives and relatively new computers, it takes approximately 160 seconds for a user to logon the first time. With a new SSD, it takes approximately 50 seconds for a user to logon the first time. These times are unacceptable
to us and is a deal breaker for Windows 10 deployment. The largest part of the logon time is spent at the "Preparing Windows" phase of the first-time logon process. This issue is serious enough for us that we would consider skipping Windows
10 and sticking with Windows 7 if it is not drastically alleviated. Even Windows 7 first logons were not great, but we simply cannot accept how they are in Windows 10.

I have not noticed slow turn around with either Linux or Windows servers
so the client is step 1, then the server are looked at for policies that bottleneck

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
So what does it means?
It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
So, how to overcome it?
The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
Summary,
It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
- OSX + Windows + Linux
- Windows + OSX + Linux
- Windows + Linux + OSX
Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
The error message is shown as
Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
The second thing is about the preparations we need.
1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
So ready? Let's go.
1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
format F: /FS:exFAT
Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
- Music
- Documents
- Movie (Videos)
- Downloads
- Pictures
All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
This is because of compatibility issue.
On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
With references to these:
http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
I would like to highlight a few important points:
1) Wi-Fi driver:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
2) Grub Menu:
It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
Parts to be removed:
- For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
- For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
Auto Mount exFAT partition:
- After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
Add the following line in gedit:
UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA exfat defaults 1 2
Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
"sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
"sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
3) Overheating CPU
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
4) System resumes immediately after suspend
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
5) What does not works well out of box:
- Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
- Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
- The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
5A) More Tips:
Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
Yup, that is it!

Slow Logon Times to Business One

One thing to look at when logon times get slower and slower in SAP Business One is your Business One inbox.   Especially if the logon takes longer before the add-ons are loaded.
If you are using Alerts in Business One then it is possible that the OAIB and OALR tables are growing larger and larger if your users are not deleting these Alert messages from their Inbox.   The OAIB table stores the messages in the inbox and are keyed by alert and user-id. The OALR table has a record for each time a alert is fired in Business One and are keyed by Alert ID.
If you have an Alert that is triggered (conditions are met) and that Alert goes to 5 users, then there will be 5 new records in the OAIB table. If that Alert is set up to run every 5 mins and the 'Save History" check box is marked on the Alert, then you get 5 records each and every min to the OAIB table. 5x60x24 or 7,200 records a day. A reason why it is better not to check the Save History option on your alerts.
If your users are checking their inbox and deleting these messages then the users OAIB, and possibly the OALR record are being deleted. If they don't check their inbox or don't delete them both tables continue to grow.   (the OALR record will not be deleted until each user message referencing that Alert ID is deleted). So 1 user not deleting their Inbox alert messages then B1 will be keeping the OALR records.
So how does this impact the logon time....
Well when you logon Business One one of the things it does after validating your user id and password is check the OAIB and OALR tables. With SQL Profiler I saw many SQL Select statements against the OALR table. One statement for each record in the OALR table.....   In one client database I saw over 12,000 OAIB alert records for 1 user that had never been viewed or deleted. This 12,000 OAIB records meant 12,000 + OALR records which meant 12,000 individual SELECT statements against OALR at each and every sign on to Business One.   Since the user had never been taught to check their inbox and the General Setting>Services option "Display inbox when new message arrives" was turned off they never new they were getting Alerts.   This was compounded by 3 other user with similar counts in OAIB and cumulative in OALR.   Also many of the Alerts were to "OLD USER IDs" (ones that users never logged on to anymore because they had left the company) but were still generating OAIB and keeping OALR records. Many Partners allways include Manager on a Alert list and this id may no longer be used on a regular basis or even have licenses assigned anymore.
So the remedy is to run this quick query to see if you have the problem.
SELECT count(T0.usersign), T1.u_name from OAIB T0 INNER JOIN OUSR T1 ON T0.usersign = T1.Internal_K Group BY T0.usersign, T1.u_name
This should list a row fore each userid and how many records they have in the OAIB table. If the counts are high then you should sign on to these users and delete their old Alert Messages from the inbox.   if you do this for all users then they OALR records should also be deleted. This should cut down the logon time if you have counts like this one user.
The other thing to consider going forward is to review who is getting these alerts (remove old users and those that don't need to be informed) Also make sure that you don't have the Save History option turned on if not really required. Also deactivate the alerts if they are no longer valid or being used.
Hope this helps

Hi,
In addition to my previous opinion, I think what you suggest here is correct only if we use the query alert frequency but the system alert seems have no frequency setting.
So, I think SAP makes it different because they want that the query alert must be restricted its frequency except system alert. This is quite confusing and can make us wondering why.
you could see if we want to create new alert management, there is directly available frequency field and save history check box meanwhile the system alert is not.
As a smart consultant, I think it will become a full concern why they are different.
Rgds,

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:

I hope this helps.

How can I have multiple WINDOWS (NOT tabs) with INDEPENDENT content?

How can I have multiple '''windows''' (''not ''tabs) with '''independent''' content?
I used to be able to open separate windows with Firefox, and the content could be completely different in each window. No matter what I did in any window, no OTHER window open at the time, nor any of the content therein, was affected. This is no longer the case and it is extremely frustrating for me.
I do ''not ''like tabs and do not use them. I prefer multiple windows plus I am so used to using them, for so many years now! But with v9.0.1 I suddenly can no longer do what I've always done with my browser without this aggravating problem constantly reminding me that I can't have what I want in firefox anymore.
Or can I? Does anyone have a solution I don't realize exists?
Thanks,

AppleScriptObjC can use pretty much everything in the Cocoa API, so yes, it is possible.
Note that a view is not the same as a window, and a window can have multiple views. There are also many ways to implement "tabs"; take a look at some of Apple's applications - they use various mixtures of toolbars, checkboxes, and radio buttons, for example. An application such as this will be a lot more involved than what you have done so far though, using custom classes and subclassing existing ones, so be prepared to do a lot of reading and researching.
