Hi,

Have you check the EventLog? That will give you the most possible reason of server activity during the login period.

Use the ‘dcdiag’ and ‘netdiag’ commands to diagnose. These are available when you install AdminPak.msi from the CD. Whatever problems you have in your infrastructure are likely to turn up there.

Hello,

First thing I’d look at is DNS and follow King Conan’s advice. If that fails to resolve, check your GP settings for the local machine and domain. If you have a large number of indivdual policies this will slow your logon as GP has to check each policy before applying it.

Good Luck!

Is this the 1st domain controller in a forest? If so, add the DNS role. We had similiar problems initially and they were all related to DNS and time-outs.
