I have a few Windows XP Pro clients on a Windows NT 4 domain that take a few
mintues to login.
The XP Pro clients have all the latest updates except SP2 applied. We have
an application not yet compatible with SP2.
This affects about 5 of 35 XP Pro clients. The login screen comes up to the
press ctrl-alt-del and the user does so. They then input their username,
password, and domain - all of which are correct and hit OK. The PC then sits
there for literally 2 minutes before proceeding. After the 2 minutes, it
continues and all is well. All network resources are accessible, no errors
or events, etc. It appears to be a PC side issue because other clients at
the same moment can login with no issues and quickly. Swapping PCs between a
'good' and 'bad' location shows is does not appear to be any connection
issue.
On one of these 5 problem units, an event log error of "No domain controller
is available" is logged. However, even after its 2 minute wait, all network
resources are accessible and we've tested that at the same time other
clients that have not exhibited this 2 minute wait issue are logging in with
no delays, issues, or events. We've also swapped this location and the
problem move with the PC.
Same wait time when these clients go to shutdown too. The user selects power
off and there is a 2 minute wait before it process to shut down. This too is
only on those same 5 client PCs. The other 30 have neither issue.
Any one with any ideas on this? Its affecting 5 of 35 PCs and seems to be a
client side issue.
