[ActiveDir] Browsing issues

[Rimmerman, Russ]

We have one site that has a full T-1 connection to our main hub, and they're in a switched environment.  Whenever anyone at that site brings up "My Computer" on a Windows XP or 2k machine, it often takes 3-5 minutes just to bring up the drives.  If they disconnect all network drives, it comes up immediately.   Syncing Outlook to MS Exchange often takes over 10 minutes.  Bandwidth utilization at this site is <35% on the average.    Is there some type of browsing issue (master browser elections) or something that can cause this?  We're on a Win2k AD domain.  This site has their own local domain controller, WINS, and DNS server.  They are mapping drives back to our headquarters across their T-1.  The two sites are physically seperated by about 20 miles.   The site has cisco routers and switches.  Any ideas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
