I am having a very weird and odd problems with some but not all of my clients when they log in.

I have a lab that has over 12 classes that meet over a week. I made each class there own OU so I could have each class log in with there own log in script to mount there class room working directories. Now almost ever OU can log in fine but some will have this log in delay.

This is the symptoms:

User logs in and it possess there user setting and all. Then it goes to the background image and stalls there and it stalls so bad I can not even CTRL+ALT+DELETE at all (I can move the mouse). The only way to get around it is to ether let it finish (it takes it about 5 to 10 minutes to log in) or reboot the system with the rest button.

Now what is funny is it only happens on some systems in the lap not all of them but most. This is totally baffling me. I had to remove the log in script in the group policies I made for each of those OU that have the problems. Also I checked the event viewer and every thing is fine on the client and on the server.

Please if any one can help.

does it come from the same machines? Try recreating the computer accounts and re-adding them to your OU's
If the same machines are still having a problem, you might need to test their Nic's Hub, etc.

Another option would be to move the user accounts to a different OU and see if the problem is at the User account, OU, or even the workstation level.

Try logging into the workstations as different users in different OUs and see if the problem still occurs.

Also, check the logon script for proper permissions if you are mapping network drives. Finally if you are using Roming Profiles, be sure the profile size isn't too large for those particular users over the network.

You were the closess. I did not see i did not add the 2 OU account to the group account i made for the students. that would not let the script work. Thanks for you help.

Get the PC's logged on then run 'gpresult' from the command line. This will tell you where, when and from who they are getting their policies applied from.
Also, the policies are run in a certain order, site/domain/OU/local there may be conflicts with other security policies within the domain.
