“Please wait for User Profile Services” – Logon delay


Environment

  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Citrix XenApp 6.5 RU5

Issue

During users logon to XenApp published applications and published desktops there can be a lengthy delay on “Please wait for the User Profile Services”, it can hang on this for up to 30 secs.

Solution

In the Group Policy Management browse to:

  • Computer Configuration
    • Administrative Templates
      • System
        • User Profiles

Modify the policy setting “Set maximum wait time for the network if a user has a roaming user profile or remote home directory” to “Enabled” and set the value Wait for network for maximum (seconds) to 0.

    Great! This even resolved my problem on a new Citrix 7.15 on a TS 2016 including WEM and FSLogix. I think the problem appeared after the Citrix WEM Agent installation. Thanks
