Slow startup, possibly network related
He will log into the same domain profile, but it shouldn't have that long of a lag to figure out that the domain is not accessable and to use the cached profile.
The user mentioned that the startup was fine until he went on a trip with several other execs and the CTO did something to get them all on that network. It sounded like Internet Connection Sharing, but he wasn't real sure. His words were "They were all linked to Matt's machine". Since then he said his bootup time was slow in or out of network.
Last week I went in there did the obvious; msconfig, virus scan, spyware scan, regedit cleanup, scndsk, and defrag. I also went in and looked at his network connections. There were some unneccessary connections in there that I removed. Removing these seemed to help the in network bootup time. But still not the standalone or home network bootup times.
So how can I examine what's going on at startup? I've browsed other slow startup threads and they seem to deal more with resource hogging programs. I can't say that isn't my problem, but I feel it's more of a network issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.
