i am working i a domain, the users they are complaining that teire desktops and laptops are taking age to be startupo and the same during shutdown.

what antivirus do you have installed just out of interest. Also how do you handle your windows updates, are they installed automatically from the server as it could be an update sent to all users that has installed and caused the computers to run slow?

3

How many workstations are we talking about and how many DCs do you have?

Any stratup / shutdown scripts configured via GPO ?

4

sorry fro the delay

i have symantec server insttalation

more than 35 workstations

i have script for mapping shared printers and folders

5

Symantec may be your problem, what spec are the workstations?

6

can i check if the re is an update pending and causing those problems

7

Do your workstations have your domain controllers only as DNS servers? Have you checked the event log during startup/shutdown times to see if any errors are logged that may shed some light?

8

i did remove the symantec and still the same

9

my Domain controller is giving all Active directory service plus filling server.

in the event viewer giving some times explorer hung

if you press controll alt delete and run explorer from the application task manager the system will start up immediattly

This may be a DNS issue in that your PC’s are trying to search for the network and are having difficulty doing so. Check the “ipconfig /all” shows the correct Ip address for your DNS server.

However one thing you can try is unchecking Automatically search for network folders and printers in folder options (open explorer and select tools folders options and view, its the top check box)

Just my two bits worth

kindly see the attached file for the DNS option

Are any of your startup scripts failing? We had an issue with a corrupted file associated with a startup script, and a few computer took up to 20 minutes to get to the login prompt.

Also, are you implementing offline files, and synchronizing before startup / shutdown?

13

no there is no offline files

but may it be the script … i understood from you that we have to replace the existing scripts with a new files

i am using .bat script

14

What are the specifications and ages of the computers?

15

Why do you have 10.51.10.3 in there? Is that your ISP?

Shouldn’t this be on your firewall and the dns server pointed at that to get internet( if you have routers it may be best to do this in the routing tables)

Also how come you have two DNS servers x.x.23.3 and x.x.40.3

I think you need to read up on DNS, google it!

Also, make sure your DNS server has it’s own IP address as the DNS server (or i think 127.0.0.0)

All I know is Active Directory is very DNS hungry in that it uses it a lot. If your DNS is setup wrong then slow logins could well be the result.

However if these setting were always there and the PC’s used to login OK then corrupt scripts, temporary internet files, cookies and large user profiles could be the issue.

Try creating a new user profile on one of the PC’s and see if i logs in OK.

If it does then you can try recreating current user profiles. Make sure you copy the old profile just in case the user has files doc stored in them, and you’ll be able to get outlook.nk2 / .pst files back if they are being used.

I suspect some problems with the DNS settings you have there. With three private IP address domains, unless all three are domain controllers, you’re probably going to have problems.

Why is the DHCP server serving out 3 DNS numbers?

thanks all

i will try all thise solutions and i hope i will get the answer

i am using more than one DNS because i have more than site and they are connected by internet.

for that i have a active directory in each site which are working on parallele to prevent any errors if there is any internet connection problem.

Run the *.bat file in command prompt and see if any errors are generated

You can add “Pause” after sections of the batch file for testing. I don’t recomend doing it on the live one. Copy it over to your desktop and add that.
