On occation at user loggon system will at "Loading Personal Settings†for up to 30 min, no matter which machine the user signs onto? Any help would be appriciated.
 
I have seen this on systems with improperly configured DNS settings. Are you sure DNS is configured correctly for AD? Did you upgrade from NT4 or fresh install

When you do get logged in (after 30 min) does the client show anything in the event viewer? Copy any errors in the post

I've seen similar results when a DHCP server is issuing IP addresses not on
that subnet, or invalid IP addresses (192.168.1.255 etc.)

Make sure you have no unauthorised DHCP servers running (DSL routers with
DHCP servers enabled etc.) and that any authorised DHCP servers are issuing
valid IP and DNS addreses.

Or, how I mention in earlier thread on this group, this could also by
caused by errors in NIC speed negotiation - try to switch from the auto
negotitation to fixed speed (for example 100 Mbps full ) or try to
change the fixed speed and duplex option for the NIC

Agreed. Possibly on the switch too. I recently had a HP ProCurve swich that
kept reverting back to 10M on ports connected to 3Com 100M NIC's until I
manually configured the ports for 100M.
 
This is a user acct/AD specific issue. Tech logs into the system fine, though when affected user attempts to sign on, it does not matter which machine they use.

If that's the case it could be a corrupted roaming profile. Try deleting the
cached copy of the profile and restoring the server copy from backup.

We are not using roaming profiles. This also happens if the user logs
onto a new system. In the past if I added or removed the users logon
script in AD the user could login. Now we are assigning scrpt through
GPO. Now no matter what properties I change in the user profile the
issue persists.

Have you tried deleting and recreating the user?

Maybe once the machine logs you in you can try running a ping for 10
minutes and see if you have a lot of packet loss.
