Every 'Registry' resource takes 25 seconds to 'Set'

I feel your ‘pain’ with SCCM. Its not mean to provision servers or worry about state. Else it would go head to head vs puppet or chef and it isnt.

Seems were back to my initial reply to your question at the top of this thread.

Any chance you uninstall the agent, restart and try and ask your Security team to exclude that node for the day of testing or use a server that hasnt gone through your normal hardning procedures ?

@Arie H, apologies for the delay, I managed to get some more time to work on this.

I removed the AV software and the server still has the same lag with xRegistry. The delay is occurring across all 200+ servers (different hardware). I guess my only hope now is your wonderful xRegistry re-write.
