| REG_DWORD | 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF kilobits per second | 0x1F4 (500 kilobits per second) |
Defines a slow connection for roaming user profiles for computers connected to IP networks.
This entry stores the setting of the Connection speed spin box in the Slow network connection timeout for user profiles Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the Slow network connection timeout for user profiles policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not Configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 500 kilobits per second.
If the server on which the user's roaming user profile resides takes longer to respond than the threshold set by this entry, then the system considers the connection to the profile to be slow.
This entry and the related entries together define the system's response when roaming user profiles are slow to load.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Connection speed spin box in the Slow network connection timeout for user profiles policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon).
Note
For non-IP computers, use the SlowLinkTimeOut entry.
If the value of SlowLinkDetectEnabled is 1, this entry is ignored. Also, if the value of DeleteRoamingCache entry is 1, there is no local copy of the roaming profile to load when the system detects a slow connection.
Tip
Consider increasing this value for clients using DHCP Service-assigned addresses or for computers accessing profiles across dial-up connections.
