Applying your personal settings take long...

[Guest]

I have 4 WinXP Pro (SP1) and 3 Win2000 Pro (SP4) clients in a Windows 2000
Server (SP4) Network using Active Directory. Whenever any of the WinXP
clients log into the domain, 'Applying your personal settings..' takes about
3 minutes. The Win2000 clients log in with no delay.

Any help would be nice!

DNS set up properly? All servers and workstations should specify *only* the
internal AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their network settings.
The AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with forwarders to your ISP's
DNS servers for external resolution. See

info.

Using roaming profiles? If so, how big are the profiles? You aren't letting
users roam between OS versions, if you use roaming profiles, are you?
