Takes FOREVER to log in....
Hi!
Just a little background:
We're a small company that's been using a Windows NT 4.0 box for a file server for the past couple years now. We've opted to upgrade to a newer, faster box with Small Business Server 2003
Now, we're having two hangups that are proving to be somewhat irksome:
1. When we login to the new domain on the SBS box, it was cycle though the "looking for user settings" message for almost 4-5 minutes. Logging into Windows NT took only a few moments... With SBS, we're having to wait 4-5 times as long JUST to log in to the new domain. I've been looking through the server's settings, hoping to stumble across what in the world is making it take so long to log people in, but to no avail.
2. This is equally irksome: When you join the new domain for the first time, you literally have to start from scratch with respect to user settings, desktop, etc, even though the only thing that's changed is the domain we're logging in to. How to we get around this?
The rep sure did make this sound as if it was going to be a lot easier than it has thus far turned out to be... ;P
