Subject: Windows 2000 *slow* startup
& login
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
