We are running a mix of Win nt/2000 workstations connecting to an NT Server(sp6). The nt workstations fly through the login script and the 2000 machines take upto 90 seconds. The script contains only 4 net use commands and nothing else. Any Ideas?

It is possible that the login scripts could be using commands that 2k does not have - Probably a slim chance since I do not know any commands to be outdated, but, worth checking on.

Second, are you sure it is the scripts that are causing the 2K machines to log in slow? Remove the scripts and time them then compare.

Third, this could be a issue where you are using a WINS name in your commands at the 2k machine will struggle with them since it is looking for DNS entries. Change them where you can.

I can not think of anything else of hand but I hope that helps.

The most likely problem is the WINS names for most systems.
