I don't know about the xp and 2k clients, but it appears your win9x are
looking for thier policies on a DC share that no longer exist.
Config.pol is a policy file that is accessed at the netlogin shared
directory on your DC server.

Subject: [windows2000] Excessive logon times??


On Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients, we are seeing times in excess of 15
to 20 minutes before the user reaches their desktop.  This is only from
standalone PCs, not from Terminal Services sessions.  It is not
happening to everyone.  For instance, I can log in fine from my desk,
but my boss, who has the same permissions, same OU, same GPO, same
switch card on the backbone, everything, has to wait 15 to 20 minutes to
get his desktop...
 
9x clients get a message stating "Unable to load
<DC>\netlogon\config.pol.  Please contact your system administrator."
 
 
Can anyone provide any insight?  I removed an AD controller yesterday,
but according to ADSIEdit, LDP, and ntdsutil, the removal went just
fine, no issues.
 
 
Help!!
 
 
 
Thanks,
Jeff
