Here's a weird one. One of my clients is running a domain. He has 6 servers, 4 of which have shares that are mapped as network drives on his workstations. I believe there's a total of 11 mapped drives. This was working fine for well over a year.
Now he's reporting that My Computer is opening slow on all of his computers, but not every time. It takes about an entire minute to minute and a half when it happens. I got it to happen once out of 15+ tries. He's not overly concerned about it, but it is an annoyance and I would like to keep him as happy as possible.
There's two DC's, so I went through their event logs and cleaned up all the errors and warnings, but there's no change. Googling for answers on this one has been a nightmare. There's a ton of people reporting My Computer opening slow, but it tends to be due to spyware or stupid application installs. That can't be the cause of this since its affecting all the computers. I lean towards the mapped drives, but I can't put my finger on why it would work fine and then just start doing this.
