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,

[ActiveDir] XP Slow Logon

AD Gurus,
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
