Hey.

I have just started using Windows Server 2003 and set up roaming profiles by sharing a folder "profiles" on my server and then creating the user account in Active Directory. I then typed the path of the folder (\\server\profiles\My Name\) into the User's properties and that's it.

When I log on with that username and password on a client machine on Windows XP Professional, the logon box says "loading your personal settings" and then "applying your personal settings" after on average 7 MINUTES the profiles logs on fine. Log off is fine.

Can anyone help in and tell me why it's taking this long to log on!?
Thanks in advance
Tom
