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

And possibly its a logon script that only applies to certain users that log onto that machine. You might just want to run gpresult when that problem 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,
