User logon takes way too long!!! Help!

[BAHshill]

One of the worksations that is part of the domain is taking an extreemly long time to login to the domain. After I enter the username and password the screen clears and nothing comes up, no applications, icons, or anything. The domain is up and working fine other users are logging in with no problems.
What could be the problem?

Thanks,

Chris

That user profile must be extremely loaded in the server (too many files or information ).That could be a reason for that long delay during log on. A+, MCP, CCNA

Probably a dns issue with the workstation.

I have had the same problem before! I solved it be reomving the workstation from the domain into a workgroup, and then rejoining the workstation to the domain. i beleive that it is a kerebros token issue.

DNS, DNS, DNS! I would bet money the workstation is not registering correctly with dns. Go to your dns and make sure that their is a host entry being created for the workstation. Most likely reason for failure...a hard coded DNS entry(incorrect) in the ip settings of the workstation.

IS that happening only to one user, or to all the users in that workstation? YEah, i agree it could be DNS too. A+, MCP, CCNA

Have you compared networking with other pc's? What happens when you log on as a different user on that workstation? What happens when you log on a different workstation with that username and password? Glen A. Johnson

Hey,

try looking for strange errors in event viewer. I had the same prob.
The most common causes are:

1. Large roaming profiles/desktops/my docs etc.
2. Dodgey (technical phrase!) computer account on server
3. DNS error.

Either look at the DNS, recreate the computer account and make sure its not just one user with the problem. Also, give it a clean up/defrag/chkdsk aswell. You never know! Steve Hewitt
