that might be overloading the server.
You should Monitor your server and check disk, memory, CPU, etc...
Also check DC config using dcdiag, and netdiag from support tools.

Dear Jorge,
Thanks for the reply!
I have a active directory setup for about 25 users, i access my files
(ERP)
from a server with active directory. All users have their own machines
(with
XP or win98). They have a Servers hard disk mapped so as to run the ERP.
I have few computers which are at common place to do common activities
like
scanning, Internet (didnt want to give everyone access to net). Here the
problem is if i setup a domain client on this pc, i wouldnt get the same
desktop with common files or shortcuts on desktop. Also there was a log on
speed problem (which i will try and check with DNS setup).
What do you suggest for Common PC's, and for PC's with XP but not with
Common users.?
As for long logon times, i am using a IBM X226 8648 iAS server with Xeon
3.0
ghz processor and 1 gb ram. Is that causing slow logon times? for my
client
pc's i have ISP's DNS put in as preferred. How do i know my Servers DNS?
If i
do that how will the clients pc's access the net?
Please help..

Hi Raghav
Do you want to work on workgroup environment or Domain environment?
In workgroup environment each machine maintains its own users/groups
database (Local SAM).
In Domain environment each machine has their own local users/groups
database, but you can take advantage of using users/groups/computers,
etc...
Database from Active directory.
To work with Active Directory you should have minimal knowledge how
Active
directory works, thinks like DNS, Group Policy, etc...
I can tell you that slow logons, long time to boot, can be GPO processing
or
DNS configuration on the machine or Server.
If you want to work in a workgroup environment, you should remember that
each machine (XP) maintains a local database about users and groups, you
have a wizard in XP machines that helps you to configure automatically a
XP
machine in a workgroup environment, that wizard also creates you a floppy
disk configuration that can be applied in Win98 machines.

Hello,
I am using Windows Xp pro SP2 as a client to connect to Windows Server
2003
domain. i also have windows 98 machines as clients in same domain.
While i have setup domain on win 98 machines so every time while
logging
they ask for domain id and pass, i haven't done so on xp machines
because
they were taking too long to log on and being used by multiple users it
created too many users.
Now what i have done is to put all the computers on same work group (so
as
to communicate in lan), and winxp machines have shortcut to server's
hard
disk, so when ever i try to access files on the domain server it asks
for
the
password then and it gives me access. Do you have a better way to do
this?
ALSO i have security policy which asks the domain users to change
password
every 15 days. while win 98 users get a dialog that password is expired
and
gives a option to change it, Winxp users don't get any notification and
no
option to change password. how do i do this in winxp and change
password?
Please Help.
.
