long delay for Applying Computer Settings

Hello. I spent several hours working on an SBS2003 server for a new client
today. It is running SBS2003, with Windows Server 2003 SP1 applied and
SBS2003 SP1 applied. Someone else originally setup the server, and we are
taking over. They had several issues. I was able to solve all but one.

When restarting the server, it sits for 10-15 minutes on Applying Computer
Settings. I have seen this before but none of the obvious things were wrong
in this case.
- NIC card priority order in Advanced Networkign is correct.
- Single NIC, and it points to itself for primary DNS
- Ran NETDIAG, and there were no errors or issues displayed.

I did some Google searches, and came across Microsoft KB221833 which turns
on debug logging. Some folks suggested that might provide a clue. Looking at
the resulting Userenv.log file, I see about an 8-minute gap between two
rows.

Here is a copy & paste from that section, along with several lines above and
below

As you can see there is a large 8-minute time gap after it logs the line...
- USERENV(1c9c.17ac) 19:59:01:968 LibMain: Process Name: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\monitoring\mssbsssr.exe

before it logs the next line...
USERENV(310.668) 20:07:52:125 ProcessGPOs: network name is

Any idea what might be going on here to cause the long delay on Applying
Computer Settings?

As always, thanks in advance.

I believe there are too many scenarios why this would happen.
Did you try on clean test computer?
You can try applying a new policy to a new pc with a new user(all test
cases) in order o isolate the issue.

So, I should have been more clear. The problem is only happening on the
server itself, not the workstation PCs.

The problem happens prior to actually seeing the login window - so trying
different users does not make a difference.

Hi Lloyd,

Please post the results of an ipconfig /all for the SBS server.

Hi Lloyd,

There might be pointers to be found if you ran the SBS BPA on that system.

Reply to Merv, I think the DNS is screwed or
there is a pre-login script (machine area) enabled, and it cannot be
found, but most likely DNS.

Here are the results if IP config.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ipconfig looks OK. Braodcom NetExtreme NIC could be problematic (at least
it can be with Windows 2003 SP2 installed).

If you re-run CEICW, does it complete successfully and/or fix the problem?
Anything in the EventLogs?

And if you disconnect the server's network cable, it boots much faster?

Are there any external devices (USB drives, etc.) that you can disconnect to
see if they affect the boot performance?

You might also try installing and running the SBS 2003 BPA...

Windows 2003 SP2 is not installed, just SP1.
I did re-run the IECW, an dit dd not make any change.
There is nothign in the event logs.
There is an external modem, but no external disk drives.
