This is an odd problem. If I log in as user in the .ad.xxxxxx context from a 9x workstation when I go to shut down the workstation hangs at the shut down screen for ten minutes plus. However, if I log in under a different context I don't have a problem shutting down. I've blown the offending .ad.xxxxx user away in the NDS and recreated his account with no effect. If a create a new test user in the .ad.xxxxxx context I have the same shutdown problem in Win 9x. Furthermore an update or regression of the workstation client does not help. Anyone have any ideas. Novell does not seem to address this in the support section of there web site. Thanx
