hi,

I've had to restart my primary Win2000 server several times in the last
week. It appears to be getting worse, I restarted about 9:30am and the
problem is back already.

Problem description: Windows 2000 clients at boot up hang up at the message
"Applying computer settings". They will set at that point for maybe 30
minutes (about 30 seconds is normal). Then the login screen is presented,
after logging in, the message "Loading your personal settings" displays for
about 30 minutes. Once past this point, things seem more or less normal.

Things seem normal if I login at the server, but terminal services
connections to that server are refused.
Windows 98 clients don't seem to be affected.

The server is at SP2 and all of the security patches through about Jan 15th
were applied.

Any suggestions on where to start diagnosing this?
thanks
