Re: Strange Logon Behaviour.

[Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]]

Hello Broonie,

Very often slow logons depend on DNS. Make sure to use only domain internal
DNS servers, please post an unedited ipconfig /all from one problem client
and the DC/DNS server.

Also make sure that for the computers following policy is configured:
Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Logon, "Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon"

Best regards
