I have a specific issue.
Scenario is:
IBM R51 laptop, built with windows xp sp2 select CD, then IMB latest laptop
software installed, office 2000, symantec nortons anti-virus and thats about
all.
I set desktop and toolbars to be windows classic.
Make the domain user a member of the local administrators group. The uses
have roaming profiles that work fine on an R50 laptop, built with windows xp
sp1 then sp2 added at a later date. ( tried a new profile from scratch and it
has same issue on this laptop and works fine on the R50, so its a machine
specific issue rather than a profile issue)
Log the user on while connected to the domain and everything works fine.
Restart laptop offline and the users profile takes 25 plus minutes to load
and doesn't bring up the usual message stating 'domain profile cannot be
loaded logging you on with local cached copy' etc message.
I have rebuilt the laptop a few times to test various options and its only
the combination of classic desktop and local admin group that causes the 25
plus startup times offline.
The reason I need a solution to this is we have already rolled out quite a
few of these builds to users already, who justifiably are getting a bit tichy
that it takes so long to log in at home.
I have tried removing the user from the admin group, recreating the profile
etc but it appears once the 'bug' has been set on the laptop it affects any
further users added to local admin group. The users have to be local admins
as they actually 'own' the laptops.
I have done a registry compare with prior to adding local user to admin
group and after and nothing is really standing out as what could cause the
issue.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to what might fix this problem I
would greatly appreciate it.
