The set-up that we installed was somewhat "down level" (both H/W and
S/W) on your set-up as it was a couple a years ago now. AP340's,
running 11.-something, WinNT4 machines, ACS v2.6 and pre-AD. Can't
remember the ACU version.
However, we did find the same thing - i.e. finding the domain
controller was slow (up to 30 seconds). Did quite a lot of tracing and
packet decoding and came to the conclusion that it was just slow and
we never found any way of speeding things up. Cisco also got involved,
but didn't get anywhere with it either. Once the users were educated
that this was the case, they seemed happy enough.
