please wait while the domain list is created
Posted on 2009-04-07
We have recently updated one of our lab's to XP service pack 3. Since doing so, the machines sporadically display the following message while selecting the domain to log into: "Please wait while the domain list is created". The message stays on the screen and does not allow the user log in.

You can try setting these two registry keys to preselect the domain
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
You might also try hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL when it gets stuck to see if that helps.
It's normal to have the delayed domain list at first login, however.

It could also be the result of a DNS problem, but if it wasn't happening to the client before SP3, that's probably not the case.
But just for reference:
1. Check the DC DNS settings. Make sure it points to an internal DNS.
2. Make sure the computer DNS points to the same DNS instead of ISP DNS.
3. Make sure the computer register A record in the DNS.
4. Make sure you can ping the DC by FQDN.
5. If the computer's hostname is set to something invalid, you may want to rename it.
