Optimising RDP Connection Times

$

Hi all,

I've been struggling with this one for a while now but I think I've now exhausted google and this forum so it time to ask.

I'll give an overview of the setup first.  Basically I have (at present) 2 x 2008 Terminal Servers running on physical hardware and 2 x Session Brokers running virtually.  The 2 session brokers are running in a cluster and each running a instance of RDweb.

Internally there is a certificate server running on the domain and both the web pages for RDweb, the Remote Apps and the Session brokers are using certificates.  In addition to this the client (Windows 7 Pro) has the thumbprint of the certificate placed in the registry to get rid of all the anoying messages.

Everything seems to working as it should but not as fast as I would expect, 2003 was much quicker at connecting than this.

The problem I have is this:

On the Windows 7 client an RDP file is automatically run by some kiosk software at workstation unlock.  From starting the connection to a disconnected session being available takes around 17s.

If I run the same RDP file in the standard environment (Windows XP SP2) it takes around 5 secs to perform the same operation.

Where can I start looking to reduce this time on the Windows 7 device?  5 secs in the Windows XP environment is a lot better but ideally it would be somewhere round 1-2secs.

Many Thanks
