RE: [ActiveDir] PCs hang at "Applying computer settings" after upgrading DCs to 2K3 SP1

Justin- I would enable verbose userenv logging on one of those PCs that's hanging and then see where in the GP processing cycle it is spending that time. It should show you based on the timestamps of the events that are thrown. You can post the relevant bits here if you need help with it.

This morning, we’re getting tons and tons of calls from users who report that their computer sits at “Applying computer settings” for a good 10 minutes, then another 10 or so minutes at “Applying your personalized settings”   After the upgrade we did start seeing DCOM errors in the System event log, which I’ve found many people online have experienced. I “fixed it” (or at least the DCOM errors went away) by granting Network Service the following rights:   Local Launch Remote Launch Local Activation Remote Activation   In the Launch and Activation Permissions dialog on the Security tab of the netman component. However, even after the DCOM errors have gone away, we continue to see the same results on the clients.   Any ideas? I’m considering calling Premier Support, but I figured you guys would be better help than them.   Thanks,   Justin Clay ITS Enterprise Services Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Howard School Building Phone: (615) 880-2573   ITS ENTERPRISE SERVICES EMAIL NOTICE The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.
