Hi Dev,

Sounds suspiciously like a DNS issue.

Ensure that all clients are pointing to internal DNS servers only. The only
boxes that should be pointing to public DNS servers are the ISA and/ or the
DNS servers (forwarders tab).

Hello,
Recently we created a new win2000 server and made it the only domain
controller. The existing clients were on NT4 domain server which had
crashed. So overnite this W2k server was prepared and the clients were
shifted onto the new domain. Since then, the clients take about 4-5 mins to
reach the desktop after logon.
This delay is noticed only on clients with XP Prof. Not on W2K Prof.
The clients which had Adobe Pagemaker 6.5 installed in them, started giving
registry error after being shifted to new 2000 Domain.
The server also has a Cable Internet connection with ISA server installed
and running fine.
The groups created (in the Active Directory Users and Computers) have a
global scope and 'security' as its type.
A group with 'Domain Local' Scope was created and a new user was made its
member. No change. The client still took 4 mins to logon with that new user.
What can be done to speed up the logons?
Will be highly obliged for any help
Devendra
