WinXP Pro

[NB]

I have Win XP Pro PC logging into a Win2000 server running
AD Three of the pc's are taking anywhere from 2 to 4
minutes to login, I have checked the domain security
policies and found nothing out of the ordinary. Does
anyone know how to resolve these problems? Thanks in
advance for any help!

Are your familiar with Netmon.
If you know how to analyze trace, you can give that a go.

NB,

A little bit more information might help. Good that you indicated that the
DC is running WIN2000. However, are we talking about a one Site situation
or multiple Sites. My guess would be that we are talking about a one Site
situation.

How are the WINXP Pro systems receiving their IP Addresses. Via DHCP?
Static ( aka manually entered )? If via DHCP, are they receiving the other
information with the IP Address, such as the domain name, the default
gateway, the DNS Server IP Address(es)?

I am trying to find out if they have the correct DNS information. All
WIN2000 / WINXP clients must point to the internal DNS Server. Please see
the following two MSKB Articles:

Is DNS configured properly?

HTH,
