What is your VPN connection speeds? Every client executes my script dialup included. I happen to have broadband at home but used to execute it every night over dialup.

I cache all the binaries and 90%+ of the code locally on the client. The files are CRC32 checked and updated if the user damages them.

A network traffic capture (Netmon.exe) of the logon script execution:

Total capture
#Frames: 958
#Bytes: 224,158

Client Bytes rcvd: 55,083
Client Bytes sent: 168,790

Only 4,986 bytes is logon script code. (+protocol wrapper)

If I remember correctly, my less functional 3.62 script caused ~350,000 bytes of traffic.

Here is tonight's logon.log.
