    Applying your personal settings takes too long!

    Hi all!

    I am currently working on our NT4 to W2K3 migration and have set up a small test network to test out things. I am noticing a strange problem when logging onto a W2k3 (SP1) AD Domain from a Windows XP Pro (SP2) workstation. The Applying your personal settings window remains displayed for about 10-15 mins. Looking at the Application Event Log I note the following entry:

    Event ID: 1053
    Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted). Group Policy processing aborted.

    Eventually once the window disappears I am logged onto the AD domain.
    What could be causing the above? Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Pierre

    Hi,

    I found some related articles:

    883271 Event ID 1053 and 1058 appear in the Application log after you
    upgrade to Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;883271

    262958 Lookup of Permissions on ACLs Shows Only SIDs
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;262958

    Also, I'd like to suggest you check if the DC is working and if we can ping
    DC with IP.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for your e-mail. I discovered the cause to be related to an incorrect DNS IP address!

    Thanks!
