I'm experiencing a problem with the clients connected to
the Server on my network.
The server is running Windows Small Business Server 2003
(standard edition)in a domain environment and the clients
connected to it are taking a long time to log on. It takes
a while for the logon screen (where you are prompted to
pres ctrl+alt+del) to appear and when it finally does
users key in their user name and passwords, but it also
takes a while before the icons and the rest of their
desktop to load.

Most of the clients on the network domain are running
Windows XP Professional.
 
Is there anything i can do to speed up this logon process?

Any help regarding this matter would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers
