Slow Logon to Server 2003

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

We have just completed a migration from an NT server to Server 2003. Users
running XP machines experience a 2-3 minute logon. users running 2000 Pro
machines do not experience any difficulties.

Thanks for your help.

The migration did not move the local XP workstations to the local server
DNS. The Windows 2000 Pro computers are still using DHCP. We will review
the reports you sent and reconfigure the workstations and DNS as needed.
