Terminal Server 2003 - Extermely Slow Logons After Server Reboot - Help!



Hello,

I have a really strange problem. I have a HP Server with 4 Dual Core
CPU's, 8GB's Ram and fast 15k SCSI Hard Drives, its running Windows
2003 Enterprise Edition with all service packs and updates. This
server runs our main business applications for about 40 users. If I
have to reboot the server during working hours, when it comes back up
and the users start to logon it runs at a snails pace, I have a login
scrpt that copies files to the users folders which usually takes about
10sec to run normally but after a reboot takes upto 15mins! All in all
it can take take 30mins for the server to settle down after
restarting. If I havent done a reboot and get all users to log off and
back on again the logins run fine. I have run task manager when they
are logging in to see if something is hogging ram or maxing cpu -
everything looks ok, cpu usage is only a few percent. The server also
runs SQL 2000 but after a restart that is onlt taking about 100mbs of
ram. This has only started in the last few months and I am at my wits
end to figure out why this is happening.

I was wondering is anyone had seen this or has any advice for a fix,
its driving me and the users nuts!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

DNolan.
