Re: Slow XP logon times

Had a Windows 2000 AD domain with 2000 pro clients using roaming

minutes to logon to the network using roaming profiles. Installed a
new 2003R2 server and moved FSMO roles. Still kept the 2000 server
as a domain controller with the 2003 server. I can logon with no
wait at all on the XP machines if not logging in as a roamin profile
user. Only when logging in with credential of roaming user does the
XP logon times take so long. DNS is pointing to the new server first
and the profiles are kept on the new servers. What could be taking
the XP pcs so long to long in compared to the quick 2000 pro logons?

Hi - I replied to your identical post in another group. In the future,
please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant
groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the
thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead
to your actually getting *less* help rather than more.
