didn't even work. I had to kill the job and disconnect my session.

Paul:

I wouldn't be at all surprised at this under various circumstances.

1. The older the release, the more likely it'll take more time.

2. The fewer Netserver PTFs have been applied, the more likely it'll take more time. Last time I really looked, a _lot_ of Netserver PTFs were not part of cumes and had to be sought out individually. It's been a while, but I'd still ensure I had every one I could find.

3. If /QNTC linkage to Windows Network servers isn't established at system startup time and there's a significant number of Windows PCs in the domain/workgroup/whatever it is in your network for your releases, the more likely it'll take more time.

Without recent OS/400, or better, i5/OS, without proper PTFs, without pre-established linkage, _each_ PC might be contacted serially, with some kind of timeout for each one. Twenty PCs with a 1-minute timeout apiece could hit 20 minutes easy. Thirty PCs? A hundred?

But usually, once established, things work better until the next system startup (IPL or restricted state, AFAIK).

Just some comments. YMMV. Caveat emptor. Carpe diem and "Arrrr!"
