RE: Strange logon problem, takes minutes to logon to Windows XP SP

I am experiencing this same issue, I have removed the computer from the
domain then changed the computer name and reinstalled the computer in the
domain, I installed a static IP address, removed the old DNS and WINS record
then recreated all of the reocords with the new static IP address and still
have the same issue where it takes up to 20 minutes to login. I looked in
the event viewer and it mentioned to me that there might be an issue updating
Group Policy so when I was able to access the computer I ran a GPUPDATE which
completed successfully and made sure I could ping the server using ghe FQDN.

In additon I am running a Windows SBS2003 and have 5 other users that are
not having any issues. All computers in the domain run windows XP SP2.

Any help would be appreciated in resolving this issue.

Thank you,

I logged on with my domain account but by then we applied the workaround so
the logon went smoothly and quick, when I enabled the Network Location
Awareness service again and rebooted I tried it again as myself and it took
many minutes again. I forgot to mention that if these machines boot without a
network cable plugged in I can logon normal (quick) with cashed credentials.
I am clueless…..

If you log in to those computers as somebody else, does it have the same
delay? If not, re-create the user profiles that have the delay.

Hi All,

Since last week I have 2 computers in my organization that suddenly takes up
to 5 minutes before the user is logged on. Everything looks fine when the
computer boots and the user logs on and it just sits there applying the
computer settings. I opened a ping to the computers and get a request timed
out the whole time until all of a sudden (after minutes) I get a reply and
the user finally logs on and can get to work.

We found a work around by disabling the “Network Location Awareness (NLA)”
service. If we do that everything looks fine. But this is not a solution
because we need that service for our group policies.

Anybody seen this behavior before?

Thanks
BasH
