This is a speratic problem on some compters and a continuing problem on others. The computers stay at the "loading personal settings" for extended periods of time. I assume it is reading from the domain server. A red flag that presents its self to me is when I go to check the "Security" on a folder or share and it shows me the code which makes no since till about a minute and a half later it shows the user names/group names. Then when your logging out it sometimes takes a very long time. Its almost like it is waiting for the domain server or there is incorrect information somewhere. because these computers shouldnt take this long to log in and the permissions shouldnt take that long to load! anyone know what my problem is?
