Each morning when users come in. If the user did not log off, the computer
is very slow until the user logs off and logs back in.

Also, the login takes 2-3 minutes, which seems a bit too long.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You haven't provided much info to go on here....

Check the event logs. And, presuming you run AD, check the DNS settings to
make sure they're pointing only at the internal DNS server - if it isn't
correct that would affect *all* logins, regardless....

My standard rule is to have all users not only log out, but *reboot* before
leaving at night, just to be on the safe side.

Hello David,

Did you check event viewer for errors? Also make sure that clients use only
domain internal dns servers and not your ISP's DNS.
