Re: [ActiveDir] Computer Hang at "Applying Computer Settings"

I'd recommend checking with your switch or router (if you're running across a WAN) vendor to see if either one cuts off UDP packets over a particular size.  It's unusual with newer equipment.

Also, make sure that if you have a WAN you check with both because computers don't always authenticate with their local DC (ugh!).

That may or may not be the issue.  Can the user login to any computer or is it just this one?

I am not sure whether it was this forum or the other forum I am also on, but some of us were having problems with XP boxes hanging on "Applying Computer Settings".

I believe this may be due to the size of UDP packets utilized by Kerberos. One can force Kerberos to go through TCP instead of UDP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=244474 . 

Or increase the packet size of UDP, http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/0d2ba911-c0ef-42c6-8264-e982c3cbd43d1033.mspx?mfr=true .
