hi there

the logon process with WinXP-Clients
to our domaincontroller(W2k) is extreemly
slow, it takes 2, 3, sometimes 5 minutes
to finish;

our Win98SE-Clients proceed the
logon in few seconds;

i guess maybe something to do with
"Profile - replication", or so ??

any good hints are welcome!

I found modifying the LMHOSTS file on the XP clients really helps in domain authentication. Please read this Technet article on doing this:

(please remove any spaces)

hope this helps

Add more ram to the DC...

i think it ahve nothing to do
how much RAM is availabel!
Thanks anyway!

This is frequently DNS related. Try to configure the DNS IP address manually, on the XP client. I have seen this resolve the issue many times...

Hope this helps. Good luck!
