I just upgraded a NT 4.0 server to win2000 with
active directory. I have a script for windows 98
clients machines, for users to acess shares on the server. However, when a user logs in, the script runs but takes 30 seconds to finish, Why is it soslow? I used the net use command and everything was fine before the upgrade. How can I speed up the client login script?

It is a school district, in one domain,
I have domain controllers at each school under the global cataloging server. The shares are accessed locally at each school.

Probably a name resolution problem.
Try this. In the logon scripts, if you use the NetBIOS machine names (i.e. \\MACHINENAME), try changing it to the IP address.
So, if you have a server called \\YOURPDC and it has an IP address of 10.1.1.2, you would change:
NET USE X: \\YOURPDC\SHARE1

to:

NET USE X: \\10.1.1.2\SHARE1

Give that a shot!
hope this helps

Try this one.

Go to Control Panel -> Network applet
click client for microsoft networking
click properties
enable quick logon
click ok, restart
