Hi Steve

I've seen this sort of thing before when DC's aren't replicating properly
and contain different copies of the Group Policy. Issues arise as you log
on and authenticate against different DC's. From a DC, try running

    gpotool /verbose > gps.txt

Then examine the resulting gps.txt file for problems.

If this isn't fruitful, I'd suggest gathering a User Environment Debug Log
and harvesting it after you manage to reproduce the issue:

Windows

Kind regards
