Re: Server 2003 hangs while "Applying computer settings"

First check DNS settings on the clients. Clients DNS needs to be configured
to point to Active Directory DNS (probably your active directory server).
If client's DNS point somewhere else this they won't be able to find your
domain controllers and clients won't be able to logon and will take a very
long time at "Applying computer settings".
