Hi!

I am having a longstanding problem with XP Pro clients trying to logon
to windows 2003 domain controller. It is EXTREMELY slow. I watched the
postings here, and all the following is configured:
1. All clients point to and only to the DC as a DNS
2. The DC has DNS pointing to itself and DNS forwarding is to the ISP

I'm desperate about this problem - can anyone suggest some resolution
to this problem. BTW, in the application log of the server, the client
workstation spend 4 minutes at event 538 when logging on (which is
successsful) and then event 566 ('Directory Service Access') is
displayed.

Thanks for your help!

have you use nslookup to check the status of the DNS?
