I know this is an old thread but I have a similar problem. I have my server at the top of the DNS list though.
I don't believe that is my problem. Recently I changed/upgraded servers and the old pcs work just fine, but when I have a new computer join the domain, or I remove a PC and re-join the domain they connect very slow. (XP computers and server 2003)
Is there a way to get a Verbose login or a login log to see what is hanging it up? there are no errors on the server
I do get this error ocassionally
***
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone cccs100. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
