Hey there,
I've got issues on laptops and desktops that I'm imaging. The login box will go grey for up to 5 minutes after you enter in your credentials. This problem will happen whether the machine is connected on the network or disconnected. I can't find a common thread between the affected machines.
Excuse my potential misues of Windows Server terminology. I'll try to give you as much backstory as I can.
Roaming profiles aren't in use or at least in limited use. An employee's mailbox, office communicator, and other various settings have to be manually set up by me. All users files also need to be moved over by me.
There is a logon script that adds the appropriate mapped drives for the user.
Now, I may image two machines and have them set up identically and one of them may have the problem, they other may not. Where can I start with my recommendations to the system administrator to help remedy this issue?
I can use the local admin account and login in a couple of seconds 10/10 times (this was a test someone had asked me to do). Obviously this account has nothing to do with the corporate network.
One oddity I've seen: if someone with the slow logon issue logs in as someone else, they'll get right in. If they log off of that other account and then back onto their own, they'll also get right in. After that, it may go right back to what it was doing.
In IP Sec under Local Security Settings, we've got Client (Respond Only) set to assigned. For the DNS service under the Log On tab, we've got "Local System Account" and it is not set to "Allow service to interact with desktop. I don't know the significance of either of these but thought it could be useful background.
In advanced network settings, we've got the binding order set to do 1. Remote Access Connection (2) Ethernet (3) wireless.
I'm lost!
