Windows 7 slow login

HI,

What is the best way to ascertain why it takes one of my clients PCs 15 minutes to login.

The reboot time is normal I believe, it is the logging in of the user.

It is a domain PC, other users are not experiencing this.

Thanks
Gareth

Check how DNS is set up on that computer:
start
run
ipconfig /all

Note what you get for the DNS Servers.  It should only point to your Domain Controller.

Pointing it elsewhere (e.g. router, ISP) can be a cause of the symptom you describe.

Apologies for slow response, I have managed to get on the client machine now and will get back to you shortly.
On my machine it was a corrupted profile. We had to create a new profile and copy the files from the old one to the new one to solve the problem.
