Re: Logon to domain account takes long in windows server 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I would look at two things, the first is I would look to make sure DNS is properly configured. If it is, then I would look to see if there is something going on with the kerberos packets. There could be some network device that is blocking some of the kerberos UDP packets.

Either of these issues should be fairly obvious in a network trace.

Hello!

On any client machine it takes long for a domain user to log on to a domain user account. Even newly added accounts have this problem and it persists. It doesn't change ever and remains like that. I have already checked if lots of data is being transferred between the server and the client during logon to a domain account but barely any data is being transferred between the two machines during that process. The network is not busy at all. So if the network bandwith is not the problem it must be the settings on the server i guess. Please help me and thank you for any help in advance.
