Very Long Bootup

We recently switch domains and our outside peoples
laptops take forever to bootup. When we switched, we
copied the profiles. Should we delete the old profile? It
is noticeably long when "preparing the network
connection". I've contacted our Corporate IT department,
but they are as slammed as we are and don't have much
time to devote to it, myself included. If someone could
point me in the right direction or KB article, please
email it to me at crchalk(at)bellsouth-dot-net.

Thank you,
Chuck Chalk

This is normally indicative of using an ISP's DNS address in your machines'
IP properties. With AD, you must only use the internal DNS server that is
hosting the zone for AD. If you switched domains, you'll also need to
ascertain what DNS servers host that domain. If using your ISP's, its asking
your ISP's DNS, 'where is my internal domain'?

Hope this helped.

Check that the DNS settings on the laptops are set only for the new domain's
DNS servers. If you want other DNS addresses (like an ISP's), then add them
to the Forwarders in DNS...
