Hello, slow logon may be cause by multiple causes: Wrong DNS settings Scripts Folder redirection ... Check that you server points to an internal DNS server as primary one. Use event viewer to check which group policy settings are taking much time to be applied. If this does not help, run a full scan on disks to delete possible existance of viruses, spywares and malware programs. Once done, perform an in-place upgrade of your OS. Also use msconfig to check which programs are lanched at the starup. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
