RE: [ActiveDir] how can you trace a logon

THat
sounds like there's a GPO or local security policy set on that machine that's
causing the issue - GPO's assigned to computers tend to be applied most heavily
during the boot process.

After entering the credentials especially during a bootup or a restart.
The screen is blank (blue) for approx 2 1/2 - 3 minutes then
the applying of network connection and personal settings appears or vice versa
. If you log off and back on the duration is about 30 sec. to
loading of desktop. This is happening on the client (2kpro and
XP) and all of Windows 2k and AS
servers. Tim Hines

There is a good whitepaper that breaks down the logon traffic that you will
see in a trace. You can read it at

What do you see on the screen when you
experience the delays? Do you experience a delay getting to the
logon screen or is it after you enter credentials?
