smartin: all i have done is set the user up in active directory. so i assume it is using the standard policies.

do you know anywhere on the net i can get a guide to which policies should be taken out?

cheers

It's ok everyone, I have fixed the problem!!

It was all running slow because I hadn't set the DNS correctly. Reran the DNS Server setup wizard and it's all shweeeet now. Client pcs log on very quickly now.

Many thanks for everyones help.

Cheers

Good thing, nice troubleshooting..., I remember that there is some issue when a workstation is logging on a domain, if the server or the workstation is not properly configured with a the DNS this slowness will occur upon logging in...

um enjoy!!!

Windows .NET Server 2003 RC2 is released!!! check it out guys :)

Sorry so late Unique :( - Yeah I have had the same probs with the logon and DNS was the issue....

Glad you worked it out :)
