Slow Startup on Client Machine due to...

[sac9829]

Hi

I finding that the cleint machines for my SBS 2003 server are really slow to startup as everytime we have to restart any of the machines it takes around 15 minutes to load and just says "Running startup scripts"

Any ideas what is causing this?

Are there error events in your event logs on the workstations? Normally if the workstations can't connect to the server's SYSVOL share during startup, it will take a really long time, and they will log some group policy errors.

I would also check your DNS setup, wrong DNS means slow logon / startup!

Are you running roaming profiles?

That can kill the logon speed.
