Active Directory is very slow

We recently converted all of our NT 4.0 Servers to Server 2003. Everything
works great except one thing - when I go into 'Administrative Tools' from my
client workstation everything is extremely slow (ie: if I go into Active
Directory Users and Computers). But the workstation is fast for all other
applications, and Active Directory Users and Computers is very fast from
other administrative workstations.

I checked my TCP/IP settings and they are all correct for the domain suffix,
default gateway, servers, etc.

What could cause this one machine to be extremely slow at everything I do in
Active Directory. For example, I do a properties of an OU and have to wait
20 to 30 seconds for it to come back. I single click on something in the
tree and wait the same amount of time again.

Thanks in advance,

Tom Edelbrok

Are you using your Internal DNS server for your DNS info in TCP/IP?

Yes, I use our internal DNS servers. We have two of them, one is primary and
the other is secondary. In 'ipconfig /all' I show two DNS servers and the
addresses correctly point to our two internal DNS servers. Does that help?
