Optimize SID resolution when viewing mappings in PI System Explorer

In PI System Explorer → File → Server Properties, the Mappings tab loads much more slowly than the other tabs when you have a slow connection to the PI servers and the domain controller. In tech support case 00589952, I found that the loading time...
