Domain login box takes 10 minutes to show!

by starscream . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

Hi There, I have a server client network with 1 Server running Server 2003 and 15 clients running windows XP. There are more clients but these are the only ones I am trying to connect at the moment. Everything has been running great for over two years and I have made incremental updates and software changes to the client image 3 or 4 times. All was well a few weeks ago however now when the client machines are booted they get a blue screen with a mouse cursor and stay in this way for around 10 minutes before the domain logon box appears, plus we are starting to have frequent crashes in Office and some machines run quite slowly.

Can anyone highlight any areas I should investiate in order to speed the machines back up. They were never the fastest machines but it is strange how all of a sudden they take this long to be ready to logon.

Thanks,

John
