Having noticed your discussion point I am intrested in any replies or info you so far have on this.

The reason being I am experiencing just this problem with XP pro and Windows 2000. (Where did you hear about this?)

DNS setting are all correct and it not the users profiles the largest is 3.5MB

Note the logon and logging off is taking between 5 and 7 mins. I have also noticed that the ting that appares to be time consumming as at the screen on XP where it states loading or saving system settings, e.g. post flushing the cashe/offline files etc...

Did either of you resolve this? I may be in the same boat with a client this week. All settings seem ok & login/out takes up to a minute on a very simple (small) network. cheers

I aslo have XP workstations that take 3 to 5 minutes to login. And it seems to be using a cached account to do that! They are connected to
the domain but if you try to add users or change security settings to add a domain user, the workstation is the only one showing!
I am finding that a lot of people are having the
same problem but no answers.
