I have setup windows server 2003 std edition and I have setup windows
XPP on deskop.
when I try to login to the server, the authentication process isvery
quick but it takes a long time on apply personal setting and apply
computer setting, it takes about 3-5 minutes which is very long time
just to login.
is there setting on the server or desktop to speed thing up?
NB: desktop part of the server domain, so I referring login to the
domain not to local desktop.

just a few questions:
Are you using roaming profiles? If yes, their size can slow down the login procedure.
Do you have client based firewalls? We experienced such a slow down after installing Trend Micro Officescan. This product added a firewall service. As long as that was running the logon procedure was very slow. Try to stop the firewall related services and set their startup to manual.
Are there any errors in the event log? If yes, provide them so that more possible reasons can be nailed down.
Best greetings from Germany
