Funny logon problems

When a win2k box logs out, say to go home, the next day, the server won't authenticate it. The logon process takes a long time, but if it is a complete shutdown, the computer logs on no problem. HAs anyone had this problem? We have an internal DNS on a win2k server machine which is also running DHCP, IIS, RAS, and everything else. But it seems to handle it quite well, except for that little quirk. If you can please help.

Thanks

Juan

Try looking at you GPO for Computer Configuration. In your MMC for Active Directory Users and Computers console. Check your startup/shutdown policies. Also check to see if scripts are being applied for users login/logout.

What is the lease time on your DHCP server? If it expires the lease on the IP in the middle of the night, the user will be unable to authenticate the next day.
