Re: Slow XP logon times



Hi
run dcdiag and nediag on the DCs, also make sure that the clients are
pointing to the correct DNS server and that you don't have connectivity
problems to the File servers that re hosting the profiles.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Had a Windows 2000 AD domain with 2000 pro clients using roaming profiles.
Insalled a few XP machines and they are taking up to four 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?
