Re: 2min or more delay longing on to domain with XP Pro SP2

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I enter the password, click "OK" and the login prompt sits there grayed out
for over 2 min.

I have tried disabling the fast login option using the Local GP. When I did
that and shutdown and rebooted twice it took over two minutes to even get the
otpion to logon. It simply sat there initiating the network and computer
policies etc.

I have tried removing and re-adding the PC account with no success either.

As for logging, do you simply mean EVENT Viewer logging or apps in general.
I have verified that no other app is logging any info.

DNS seems to be working since I am able to access anything I need on the
network including the Sysvol.

My suffix search order list shows the domain my PC account is a member of
first and then the root for our enterprise. I have a total of 6 entries in my
DNS suffix search order for various domains.
