Hello Matthieu,

thanks for the fat reply.

We have about the same user number.I have migrated our old win2000 AD to
samba4 and raised forest and domain level to 2008r2. In my test (esx)
environment I have only tested with some clients (WinXP, WinVista, 2k8
server) and it seemed to work well, at least authentication, GPOs and
sripts did work like before. I did not recognize such delays in my
testing environment. Unfortunately I did not test the LDAP stuff.

Any idea how to find out where the delay is generated ? What I have
observed is that sometimes the samba processes use up a lot of CPU.

best regards

Andreas
