Edwin,
The symptoms mentioned below are correct.
I will log on as domain user and domain admin and compare the event logs.
I will post the event logs.I'm bit superised that this issue occured with
new machine that was put on the network and similar issue on every host
machine,

Many Thanks.

OK, so we have more info now, which actually changes the symptom description
a bit.

Just to summarise here:
- boot computer
- logon immediately after boot with "normal domain user" will cause 20-25
seconds of delay
- logon immediately after boot with "domain administrator" will NOT cause
20-25 seconds of delay
- logon after 30 seconds wait after boot with "normal domain user" will NOT
cause 20-25 seconds of delay

do you agree with the (new) symptom description ?

(I don't think this is caused by your network switches, likely be in the
host machine.)

any different system event messages if you compare a failed "domain user"
logon with a sucsesful "administrator" logon ?
list them as :
1) failed logon with normal user
-- log error 1
-- log error 2
2) sucsesful logon with admin
-- log error A
-- log error B

Rgds,
Edwin.

Edwin ,
It hasn't fixed the problem :(
I even confiured a port switch as full duplex and didn't fix the problem.
don't know were to start from now.

This issue does not occur when logging with administrator account after
bootup.

I have run the command DCDiag.exe and it showed that everything has
passed.
I also ran the command nltest.exe /dsregdns .

I have installed the patch that has been mentioned for the DHCP.

I know the following is kind of specific but it may apply to you
anyways if you are running Windows 2000 SP4.

Did this behaviour start happening after you installed KB914388?

Do you have "The DHCP Client service hung on starting" errors in
your
event log?

If so, try the following:

Use Regedit32 and go to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\DependOnService

add ProtectedStorage to the bottom of the list of services and
reboot.

Hi Everyone,
I get The system cannot log you on now because the domain
<DOMAIN_NAME>
is
not available when i try to log onto the the domain

When I get to the stage of entering the username and password it
waits
for
10 seconds and then I get an error message saying that the domain
is
unavailable, however if I wait 20-25 seconds before logging on, it
logs
me on
straight away

It only occurs when you first boot up the machine ,and If I enter
the
username and password I get the domain is unavailable but it's
working
fine
the 2nd attempt and logs me onto the domain very quick

I don't know if its dns issue ,but it sounds that the machine isn't
getting
the ip address from the DHCP server quick enough. What's your
opinion
please?

Is this releated to Cached Logon Count problem?

Thanks
