Nathan-
Have you run rsop.msc on one of those XP clients to see which policies are
taking effect? I suspect that you are probably getting some policy after all
and that it is timing out for some reason. The RSOP report will tell you
what policies you are getting. You can also enable verbose "userenv" logging
to get a detailed trace of the logon process. Check out
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=221833 for information on
enabling this logging. I also have implemented a logging ADM template here:
www.gpoguy.com/tools.htm that you can use to set this up via GPO itself.
