10.5.4 Server Update Extremely SLOW

[dilbert4life]

So, I updated to the latest OS X Server release like a good Apple Child, and have been punished by slow login times and even slower program launch times.

It takes approximately 3 min 43 sec for the Login Screen to actually login after I have typed the Username, Password, and hit enter. Then, once I get in and launch Server Admin, that takes nearly 7 min to launch. If I press opt-cmd-esc, it says that the program is not responding, but if I don't force quit and just wait, it eventually opens and operates just fine.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, and if so, what they did to fix it. I ended up just reinstalling the whole OS and only updating to 10.5.3. I would rather have 10.5.4, since I have Back to my Mac and would like to use it.

Any suggestions, or was this just a fluke? I am planning on making a Super Duper Backup and then reapplying the 10.5.4 combo update. I guess I will post back here when it is all said and done with the results.

Same Problem

Since 10.5.5, our mac mini site server can no longer administer itself with the Server Admin tools without a 3+ minute pause. Like you say, it works if you wait...

I found the same issue when connecting to it with Server Admin tools (10.5.5) from another intel, but strangely, connected fine from a 700MHz hacked PPC lampshade also running leopard Server Admin tools 10.5.5
