Ever since about 3 months ago, when I reboot my computer it takes a really long time to get to the log on. It sits at "Applying Settings" for about 10 minutes. I've looked at DNS, IP configurations, and GPOs, but they all seem okay. I'm on a Windows 2003 AD domain, GC is local on my segment. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on fixing this???

Slow "Applying Settings"

Sounds DNS'ish but maybe not. Got any old login scripts in a GPO somewhere that maybe trying to access an old resource that doesnt exist? Ive seen it where an old forgotten script was trying to map a drive to a server that was removed and it took a long time for it to time out and stop trying.

But if what you say is true, then if I log in from another XP computer it should happen there too. Funny thing is it doesn't happen when I try it on another computer. So I can conclude that it's more or less something associated with my computer and not my username.
Try deleting your local profile on the pc thats giving you the problem. Remember you lose any stuff unique to that profile on that pc, like files you have saved on your desktop, IE favorites, stuff like that. Then log in and let it rebuild you a new profile, see if that helps.

Check the size of your profile. If more than 10MB, then you need to move some files out of your profile to the local disk.

I tried logging onto my PC as a new user and it still does same thing. It created a new profile which is expected, but when I reboot the PC and logon as the new user it was slow "applying computer settings" again. Then I log out and log on using my user account and it went right in to the desktop. It seems it only happens on the first logon after a reboot. There must be something with my PC.

HERE IS ANOTHER POSTING THAT RELATED IT TO DNS

do all your clients act the sameway? If so maybe someone changed the GPO to prevent the Clients from using "fast logon optimization" logon.???

Make sure your using asynchronously settings. Every step in the policy is applied at the same time, with the server confirming each step independently. This makes for a much faster login.
