[Casper] Timing logins and applicaion startup

[Thomas Larkin]

Are you by chance running 10.5.3 or 10.5.4?  There were known bugs that caused all sorts of sync and log in issues and I saw them myself.  Where it would take literally, 2 minutes just to log in with a network account.   

Also, how many clients are bound to your Directory Servers?

Greetings.

At my site, we are experiencing a maddening issue wherein 1) sometimes 
(network/mobile) users are unable to log in (or, they log in but can't 
access their home folder, or, logging in is really slow), and 2) 
Office 2008 applications crash.  Both issues are alleviated 
temporarily when we reboot our open directory master [the Office crash 
only started happening after we used WGM to redirect the user's cache 
folder from the network to the local computer to reduce the ridiculous 
startup times], despite the fact that our client machines are all 
bound to replicas.

In order to understand the extent of the problem and to see if any 
changes we apply alleviate it (and believe me, I would sooner just fix 
the problem if I could!), I would like to know if it is possible to 
deploy a script that will time how long it takes for a user to log in, 
and another one to time how long it takes for certain applications to 
start (or see if they crash when a user tries to start them.)  Does 
anyone know how I might do this?

Thank you,
Clinton Blackmore
