I have 2 computers (workstation and server) that are
connected by a router that uses DCHP. The workstation has
Windows XP Pro and the server has Windows 2000 Server.
Today I created a domain on the server, and created a few
domain users. On the XP workstation, I successfully
joined it to the domain. I restarted the workstation and
a new domain login request box appearred after XP boots
up. I used one of the domain user accounts I created to
attempt to log into the domain. It accepted the user and
password then proceeded to the "loading user settings"
screen, which is where the computer will just hang and
won't ever load up. I can hear the harddrive working so I
beleive it hasn't frozen, plus I still have mouse
movement. I let it stand for like 10 minutes before I
gave up and hard rebooted the computer.
The workstation does this everytime I try to log into the
domain, no matter what domain account I use. Furthermore,
when I attempt to log on using the local administrator
account to the workstation locally (not through the
domain) it hangs at the login screen for several minutes
after I successfully enter the user and password (with
the login info window grayed out). Finally it WILL load
into windows after several minutes.
I did search through these forums to see if somelese is
experiencing this and someone posted a possible solution
with a link to the MS knowledge base regarding fast
logins in XP. It said to disable fast logons in the group
policy console under the "Computer Configuration \
Administrative Templates \ System \ Logon \
Always wait for the network at computer startup and
logon". I loaded up the group policy editor (gpedit.msc)
on the XP workstation and but I could not find that
setting.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this problem or
why I don't have that setting in the group policy editor?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
