I have an weird problem for which I am not having any luck. Here you go:

Only XP computers are experiencing very slow logons (upto 5+ minutes) to the
domain. Windows 2000 professional computers dont have this problem. Now,
this is mostly happening on remote sites without local DC so the
authentication is taking place at another nearby site wiht a DC but there
have been some reports that it happend on the sites with a local DC.

Here is my environment:

1. DNS - BIND with dynamic AD zones.
2. AD - Win2K servers. There is a domain policy that forces "asynchronous"
boot for XP.
I have checked following but none helped:

On user's machine:
-Installed XP ServicePack2
-Disabled XP built-in firewall
-A hotfix from M$ was installed as suggested by a post.
-NIC card drivers were updated

On AD:
-Made sure that sites / subnets are defined properly
-Enabled "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" in the
GPO

I have a feeling that its misconfigured DNS, anyone using BIND DNS with AD
and having problem with XP? Is there any special configuration that needed
to be change in the BIND?

Any ideas?

Regards,
Adeel

Hi Adeel, this setting:

-Enabled "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" in the
GPO

Will slow down an XP box pretty good, they usually login cached and let
things catch up with them.

HTH,
John

True but this is the default state (synchronous GP processing) on Win2K
anyway so if there is no problem on Win2K I suspect this is not the
issue.

Outside of DNS issues, you might want to fire up userenv logging and see
if the clients are hanging during GP processing.

Enable userenv logging, then look in the file and watch the time
stamps to determine what steps are taking a long time to complete.

It's pretty handy to check every now and then, I found recently that
the Macromedia Authorware web player folder in our Default User
profile accounted for 30-40 seconds of the log in time just to copy
it's files to the new users profiles.
