Hello.I've just installed Windows Server 2008 and installed Active Directory Domain Service and DNS roles. My domain name is home.mib (netbios: HOMENET).I have a problem with client login now. When loading goes up to Applying Personal Settings system "freezes" for about 30-50 seconds. After this system loads fine...IPConfig from server: WindowsIPConfiguration HostName............:Win2008Srv PrimaryDnsSuffix.......:home.mib NodeType............:Hybrid IPRoutingEnabled........:No WINSProxyEnabled........:No DNSSuffixSearchList......:home.mib EthernetadapterLocalAreaConnection: Connection-specificDNSSuffix.: Description...........:AtherosL1GigabitEthernet10/100/1000Ba se-TController PhysicalAddress.........:00-1E-8C-A9-B8-B0 DHCPEnabled...........:No AutoconfigurationEnabled....:Yes IPv4Address...........:192.168.0.15(Preferred) SubnetMask...........:255.255.255.0 DefaultGateway.........:192.168.0.1 DNSServers...........:127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 NetBIOSoverTcpip........:Enabled TunneladapterLocalAreaConnection*8: MediaState...........:Mediadisconnected Connection-specificDNSSuffix.: Description...........:isatap.{85C8AEF7-4870-44F5-84E8-E3E6909BF F8F} PhysicalAddress.........:00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0 DHCPEnabled...........:No AutoconfigurationEnabled....:Yes IPConfig from client (i have russian XP, sorry): IPWindows .........:vmware DNS-......:home.mib .............:hibrid IP-....: WINS-.......: DNS.:home.mib -Ethernet: DNS-..: ............:VMwareAcceleratedAMDPCNetAdapter .........:00-0C-29-26-FC-AC Dhcp...........:no IP-............:192.168.0.16 ..........:255.255.255.0 ..........:192.168.0.15 DNS-...........:192.168.0.15 nediag from client (no domain login): C:\ProgramFiles\SupportTools>netdiag.exe ....................................

Note:run"ipseccmd/?"formoredetailedinformation Thecommandcompletedsuccessfully C:\ProgramFiles\SupportTools> Also Application Log says: Source: UserenvWindowscannotobtainthedomaincontrollernameforyourcomputernetwork.(Unknown network error).GroupPolicyprocessingaborted.How to solve this problem? I don't think this is normal that i have to wait about a minute to process the login.

Hello, Do you have any group policy settings on the domain controller? Are there any logon script, folder redirection settings and software installation policy? If yes, it is normal to take 30-50 seconds to apply personal settings. If no, I suspect this may be a network issue, please remove 192.168.0.15 from the Default gateway setting on the problematic client and then check if the issue still exists. If the issue still exists, please follow the steps to collect Userenv.log on the problematic computer for further troubleshooting. Steps: a. Start Registry Editor. b. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon c. Right-click and new add DWORD(32-bit) with the Value of "UserEnvDebugLevel" d. Type in 100002(Hexadecimal) or 65538(Decimal) in the Value data box, and then click OK. e. Reboot the problematic computer to make the change take into effect. The Userenv.log is located in the folder: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Debug\UserMode\ You may send it to tfwst@microsoft.com Hope it helps.Your potential. Our passion.
