Windows XP SP3 very slow to logon (5 minutes or more)

Asked by Nikolaj77 in Windows XP Operating System, Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: slow logon, windows xp, domain, slow logoff

Hi,

I have a client which experience very slow logon times on one on of his PC's. There are 15 PC's in total and this PC is the only one that experience slow logon times.

When he logs into his PC it takes around 5 minutes before the desktop is even presented. It hangs the 5 minutes at "Loading your personal settings"

The environment:

* Windows XP SP3
* Part of a Windows 2003 domain
* Using roaming profiles
* The other PC's on the domain does not experience slow logon times.
* No folder synchronization is enabled
* Offline caching is disabled
* No nonpresent UNC pathes are mapped
* The global profile share, has the following offline settings: "Only the files and programs that users specify will be available offline."
* The global profile share is located on a memberserver in the domain
* There are two Windows 2003 R2 DC's
* There is also a Terminal Server present in the environment, where usere logon from remote to work on their desktop.

There is an event (event id 1525) in the eventlog:

"Windows has detected that Offline Caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile share - to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored."

Can someone please help us locating the issue regarding the slow logon times and resolve it?

Is the problem related to the event 1525?

Thanks.

Regards,
Nikolaj
