Hi Shane, You're right, the only interesting bit is right at the end where there is a 20 second gap in the timestamps before completion. Everything else is fine. So what you're looking at is a 20 second timeout while group policy processing is completing. If you had Win2k3 Sp1 the solution would be easy, as is I'd have to ask what win2k hotfixes have been applied recently? Nothing's changed in DNS?

All other aspects of logon is nice and fast. Problem is occurring for all user accounts. Problem is reproduceable with or without roaming profile - actual load of settings is quick - just hangs at applying - userenv debug file contents are below - has anyone come across this in their travels ?? There are no AD GPOs being applied - only old NT4 domain policy which has not changed for a couple of years. The delay that I am seeing seems to coincide with the time difference in the last 2 entries: USERENV(1204.1abc) 11:01:36:512 ApplyGroupPolicy: Background refresh not requested. Leaving successfully. USERENV(1204.1d4c) 11:01:56:512 PolicyChangedThread: Leaving But I am not sure what this means ? Any feedback appreciated. Mincom. The People. The Experience. The Vision.
