Windows 2000 logon issues
I've asked this question b4, and thought it was resolved, but here it is again. We've got several W2K pc's logging on to a W2K server and only 3 pc's are really slow in the morning. Then they resume regular operation after a few minutes. We've checked DNS, changed ip addresses with ones that were working, checked subnets, and we've even formatted reloaded windows changed names and gave it a totally different ip address, but with no luck in getting them to logon faster. And we've checked the cables and switches. Any other ideas? Thanks for your input.
Nothing in the event viewer telling you some service had problem starting, or anything suspicious?
server and PCs are on same subnet ?
Are you using roaming profiles? Does the slow log on happen to those same users if they log on to a different workstation?
I know you have checked DNS but, it may be worht looking again

What is the clients using for primary dns server setting?
Ensure you do not have the ISP DNS server address anywhere in client TCP/IP settings.
Do you have a wins server? MS says it is not needed with a full 2k network but it helps.
Do you have multiple domain controllers? Are the clients that are receiving the slow log ons using the same domain controller as the others?

Are you running backups? Whenever I have slow workstations and bad network performance in the morning, it's typically because the back up job hasn't finished on schedule... just a thought.
