We didn't solve our problem, we put it down to a bug in the image build as it
only affected a certain suite of machines with that particular build on it.
We still don't know what caused it.
Trond, does it only 'stall' on certain PCs with certain users or does it
stall on certain PCs with all users?
If you switch off during the login - you say it works fine afterward, if you
then delete all cached profiles on the PC - does the problem reappear?

Hello!.
We are experiencing the exact same problem in our network. We run Win XP sp2
clients in a Windows 2003 domain. The problem is intermittent and only on
some clients. All clients point to the same DNS. The DNS is also the DC for
the site.
All clients get their ip-adress and dns servers from DHCP on the DC.
The client hangs while "applying personal settings" (after typing username
and password). When the client hangs we can turn off power and the next logon
works fine.
Did you solve your problem?

6x Win2003 DCs - 2 forests, connected via 2-way forest trusts.
DNS on client-end is set to each DC in turn, with the last DNS server being
the 'external' internet DNS.
All DNS servers use forwarders (DCs in DomainA use forwarders to DomainB and
vice-versa).
When we login to Windows XP Pro in a specific suite of PCs, login times are
a good 2-5 minutes plus, regardless of whether using mandatory or roaming
profiles.
The delay only seems to occur when you 'cold boot' a PC, if you leave it on,
log it in and then logoff and then login again - there's nowhere near such a
large delay.
It seems to 'stick' when you first login (username, password and domain box)
and sits for around 20-30 seconds until 'loading personal settings' comes up,
then sits there for a bit, then sits for a further minute or 2 on 'applying
personal settings'.
The login scripts have been ruled out as once the PCs get to this point,
they seem okay.
Any ideas or things I can check?
