el_vago32 0 Posted August 19, 2004 why does it takes so long to log into the domain?..., this has been bothering me since a few moths ago but i cant take it anymore, and it only happens when the workstation is a Win2k/Winxp computer, if it's a win98 (huak!) it doesnt take any much...., is there something that i could do to accelerate the login process to the domain?, how?

adamvjackson 0 Posted August 19, 2004 Are you using Active Directory? Native mode or Mixed mode? Any WINS servers? Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled or disabled in your DHCP scope? Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted August 19, 2004 Might want to use a more informative topic in the future. If AD: Install DNS on the DC Have the DNS entry in the IP settings point to itself Have all of your clients use the DC, and ONLY the DC, for their name resolution Configure forwarders on the DC to hand off DNS resolution to your ISP's DNS boxes for domains that it is not authoritative for Also, read up on the AD documentation in the help file on proper configuration of AD and the networking environment.
