cpu @ 100% for some accounts

[Jeremy]

Netowrked vista laptops on active directory with a 2003 server. When users
log in, they hang during the logon script. The cpu is at 100% and there are
a couple of svchost items taking up lots of memory. Where should I start
troubleshooting? Is there more I can do than just examine the event logs?
Thanks, Jeremy

Start by looking at the logon script? What are you running in there?
Invariably when I've seen this (and always in corporate situations
IMHE) there is a pile of "must run" software mucking up the logon.
