You may find that Login Scripts are very slow to run when you are using any of the following operating systems:

Windows Vista – SP2, Windows Server 2008 – SP2, SBS 2008 – SP2, Windows 7 – SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 – SP1 or SBS 2011 – SP1

The boxing feature causes the login script to run at a reduced priority for the first 60 seconds, a hotfix is available from Microsoft that improves the speed at which the Login Script runs. This can be found in the Microsoft knowledgebase under KB 2581608 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581608

If you are running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or SBS 2011 with Service Pack 1 then you may experience the following error:

STOP: 0x0000007F (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

This can occur in a number of scenarios such as initiating a data transfer over the network or resuming the computer/server from sleep/hibernate. Ultimately the issue is related to the operating system not allocating enough stack space. The issue can be resolved by applying the hotfix from the Microsoft Article KB 2519736 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2519736

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.3 Beta Runtime Update can now be obtained.

New features introduced in this update
