Windows 2000 pro takes a very long time to shutdown. This computer is
joined to a domain and has service pack 4 installed. Any suggestions?

Another workaround that can work is to do a
Start
Run
type
net stop spooler
click OK
before shutdown.

This behavior can be a application running in server, where Operating System
try closed the process and application slow to response.
You can check if there is any different applications installed it.

You have to have the DNS on the server setup with the primary and secondary
IP's and then on the workstation you point the DNS to the IP of the Server.
We had the same problem a couple of years ago. Hope this helps...

You need to setup the DNS on the server with the primary and secondary IP's
and then on the workstation point the DNS to the Servers IP address. If you
have the primary and secondary DNS IP's keyed on the workstation they will
time out after about 50 seconds, XP is longer "2 minutes". You have to key
the servers IP address in the primary DNS field. example "192.168.1.200 "

Hope this helps..
