Re: Group Policy Timeout on one server in an OU.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have tested the only login script that
is being used (maps some network shares), and it is not bombing out
with any indication I can see. Also, this happens when any user logs
onto that machine on the domain. The only way to get around the GPOs
is to login locally of course, and when I logon locally it does in fact
login. So it is without a doubt that error causing the hangup as far
as I can tell. Still digging into this. Thanks in advance to any
future replies!

user is logged on to see what the script is.

It sounds like a script is not completing.
Perhaps you need to look at what the scripts are doing.

Hello,

This problem was brought to my attention late last week, and I have not
been able to find much useful information to adapt to our setup. The
affected computer is a Windows 2k3 Ent. SP1 machine running Sawmill as
an application server for Sharepoint Analysis by our Web Admin. She
complained it took awhile to login.

The hangup occurs after all the settings are applied, and it hangs on a
desktop background image, like it is waiting for the Start
Menu/services/etc. to load.

Upon analysis of the event log I found this in the application event
log:

--Execution of GPO scripts has timed out and have been terminated.

That is it. The computer is in AD, in the same OU as about 50 other
servers, and this is the only one having this problem. It will
eventually login once the time limit has been reached.

If I logon with any account local to the server it logs right in.

I can successfully run gpupdate after it logs in, there are no other
errors I get.

I have tried rejoining the machine to the domain, and a few other
tricks, but have been unsuccessful so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
